1 Chronicles 12:8-18

8From the Gadites there 1came over to David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, and whose faces were like the faces of lions, and 2they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains. 9Ezer was 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 of the sons of Gad were 3captains of the army; 4he who was least was equal to a hundred and the greatest to a thousand. 155These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.

16Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David. 17David went out to meet them, and said to them, “If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no 6wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide.” 18Then 7the Spirit 8came upon 9Amasai, who was the chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, O David, And with you, O son of Jesse! 10Peace, peace to you, And peace to him who helps you; Indeed, your God helps you!” Then David received them and made them 11captains of the band.
