1 Chronicles 12:8-15

8Some men left Gad to join David at the fortified camp in the desert. They were warriors, trained soldiers, able to fight with shields and spears. They looked like lions and were as fast as gazelles on the hills.

9Ezer was the first of these soldiers. The second was Obadiah. The third was Eliab.

10The fourth was Mishmannah. The fifth was Jeremiah.

11The sixth was Attai. The seventh was Eliel.

12The eighth was Johanan. The ninth was Elzabad.

13The tenth was Jeremiah. The eleventh was Machbannai.

14These descendants of Gad were army officers. The least able one was in command of 100 men, and the best one was in command of 1,000.

15In the first month of the year, these men crossed the Jordan River when it was flooding its banks. They chased away all the people in the valleys to the east and west.
