1 Chronicles 12:8-18

8And of the Gadites, there separated themselves to David in the stronghold in the wilderness mighty men of valour, men fit for the service of war, armed with shield and spear; whose faces were [like] the faces of lions, and who were swift as the gazelles upon the mountains:

9Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

15These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it overflows all its banks, and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, toward the east and toward the west.

16And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.

17And DavidH1732 wentH935 out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If ye comeH935 peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the 1God of our fathers see [it] and rebuke [it].

18And the Spirit cameH935 upon Amasai, the chief of the captains, [and he saidH559,] Thine [are we], DavidH1732, And with thee, thou son of Jesse: PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 beH1961 to thee! And peaceH7965 beH1961 to thy helpersH5826! For thy 2GodH430 helpsH5826 thee. And DavidH1732 received them, and made them chiefs of bands.
