1 Chronicles 12:8-15

8Many soldiers from Gad's tribe joined David's army at his strong place in the desert. These men were brave soldiers who knew how to fight well. They could use shields and spears. They could fight like lions. They could run as fast as deer on the mountains.

9Ezer was their leader. After him there were: Obadiah (2), Eliab (3),

10Mishmannah (4), Jeremiah (5),

11Attai (6), Eliel (7),

12Johanan (8), Elzabad (9),

13Jeremiah (10), and Makbannai (11).

14These descendants of Gad were leaders in the army. The least important officer among them led 100 soldiers. The greatest officer led 1,000 soldiers.

15Those men went across to the west side of the Jordan River during the first month of the year. At that time the water in the river was very deep and wide. They chased away the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
