1 Chronicles 12:8-18

8And of the GaditesH1425 there separatedH914 themselves unto DavidH1732 into the holdH4679 to the wildernessH4057 menH1368 of mightH2428, and menH582 of warH6635 fit for the battleH4421, that could handleH6186 shieldH6793 and bucklerH7420, whose facesH6440 were like the facesH6440 of lionsH738, and were as swiftH4116 as the roesH6643 upon the mountainsH2022;12

9EzerH5829 the firstH7218, ObadiahH5662 the secondH8145, EliabH446 the thirdH7992,

10MishmannahH4925 the fourthH7243, JeremiahH3414 the fifthH2549,

11AttaiH6262 the sixthH8345, ElielH447 the seventhH7637,

12JohananH3110 the eighthH8066, ElzabadH443 the ninthH8671,

13JeremiahH3414 the tenthH6224, MachbanaiH4344 the eleventhH6240H6249.

14These were of the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, captainsH7218 of the hostH6635: oneH259 of the leastH6996 was over an hundredH3967, and the greatestH1419 over a thousandH505.3

15These are they that went overH5674 JordanH3383 in the firstH7223 monthH2320, when it had overflownH4390 all his banksH1428H1415; and they put to flightH1272 all them of the valleysH6010, both toward the eastH4217, and toward the westH4628.4

16And there cameH935 of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 and JudahH3063 to the holdH4679 unto DavidH1732.

17And DavidH1732 went outH3318 to meetH6440 them, and answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto them, If ye be comeH935 peaceablyH7965 unto me to helpH5826 me, mine heartH3824 shall be knitH3162 unto you: but if ye be come to betrayH7411 me to mine enemiesH6862, seeing there is noH3808 wrongH2555 in mine handsH3709, the GodH430 of our fathersH1 lookH7200 thereon, and rebukeH3198 it.567

18Then the spiritH7307 cameH3847 upon AmasaiH6022, who was chiefH7218 of the captainsH7991H7970, and he said, Thine are we, DavidH1732, and on thy side, thou sonH1121 of JesseH3448: peaceH7965, peaceH7965 be unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine helpersH5826; for thy GodH430 helpethH5826 thee. Then DavidH1732 receivedH6901 them, and madeH5414 them captainsH7218 of the bandH1416.8
