1 Chronicles 12:8-18
8SomeH4480 GaditesH1425 defectedH914 toH413 DavidH1732 at his strongholdH4679 in the wildernessH4057. They were mightyH1368 menH376 of valorH2428, trainedH6635 for battleH4421, expertsH6186 with the shieldH6793 and spearH7420, whose facesH6440 were like the facesH6440 of lionsH738 and who were as swiftH4116 as gazellesH6643 onH5921 the mountainsH2022:
9EzerH5829 the chiefH7218, ObadiahH5662 the secondH8145 in command, EliabH446 the thirdH7992, 10MishmannahH4925 the fourthH7243, JeremiahH3414 the fifthH2549, 11AttaiH6262 the sixthH8345, ElielH447 the seventhH7637, 12JohananH3076 the eighthH8066, ElzabadH443 the ninthH8671, 13JeremiahH3414 the tenthH6224, and MachbanaiH4344 the eleventhH6249H6240.
14TheseH428 GaditesH1121H1410 were armyH6635 commandersH7218, the leastH6996 of whom was a match for a hundredH3967, and the greatestH1419 for a thousandH505.
15TheseH428 areH1992 the ones whoH834 crossedH5674 the JordanH3383 in the firstH7223 monthH2320 when it was overflowingH4390H5921 allH3605 its banksH1428, and they put to flightH1272 allH3605 those in the valleysH6010, both to the eastH4217 and to the westH4628.
16Other BenjamitesH1121H1144 and some men from JudahH3063 also cameH935H4480 to DavidH1732 in his strongholdH4679. 17And DavidH3318 went outH1732 to meet themH6440H6030, sayingH559, “IfH518 you have comeH935 to meH413 in peaceH7965 to help meH5826, my heartH3824 will beH1961 unitedH3162 with youH5921; but ifH518 you have come to betray meH7411 to my enemiesH6862 when my handsH3709 are freeH3808 of violenceH2555, may the GodH430 of our fathersH1 seeH7200 it and judge youH3198.”
18Then the SpiritH7307 came uponH3847 AmasaiH6022, the chiefH7218 of the Thirty, and he saidH7970:
So DavidH1732 received themH6901 and made themH5414 leadersH7218 of his troopsH1416.
