23This is a list of the soldiers who joined David's army at Hebron. They came with their officers and they were ready to fight. They wanted to help David become king of Israel instead of Saul. The Lord had promised that this would happen. 24From Judah's tribe, there were 6,800 men who carried shields and spears. They knew how to fight well. From Simeon's tribe, there were 7,100 strong men who knew how to fight well. 26From Levi's tribe, there were 4,600 men. 27Jehoiada was the leader of the men who were Aaron's descendants. He brought 3,700 men with him.
