16Then someH4480 of the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 and JudahH3063 cameH935 to the strongholdH4679 to DavidH1732. 17DavidH1732 wentH3318 out to meetH6440 them, and saidH559 to them, “IfH518 you comeH935 peacefullyH7965 to me to helpH5826 me, my heartH3824 shall be unitedH3162 with you; but ifH518 to betrayH7411 me to my adversariesH6862, since there is noH3808 11wrongH2555 in my handsH3709, may the GodH430 of our fathersH1 lookH7200 on it and decideH3198.” 18Then 12the SpiritH7307 13cameH3847 upon 14AmasaiH6022, who was the chiefH7218 of the thirtyH7970, and he said, “We are yours, O DavidH1732, And with you, O sonH1121 of JesseH3448! 15PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to you, And peaceH7965 to him who helpsH5826 you; IndeedH3588, your GodH430 helpsH5826 you!” Then DavidH1732 receivedH6901 them and madeH5414 them 16captainsH7218 of the bandH1416.

But they did not helpH5826 them, for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 after consultationH6098 sentH7971 him awayH7971, sayingH559, “At the cost of our headsH7218 he may defectH5307 to his masterH113 SaulH7586.” 20As he wentH1980 to ZiklagH6860 there defectedH5307 to him from ManassehH4519: AdnahH5734, JozabadH3107, JediaelH3043, MichaelH4317, JozabadH3107, ElihuH453 and ZillethaiH6769, 18captainsH7218 of thousandsH505 whoH834 belonged to ManassehH4519. 21They helpedH5826 DavidH1732 againstH5921 19the bandH1416 of raidersH1416, for they were allH3605 mightyH1368 menH1368 of valorH2428, and were captainsH8269 in the armyH6635. 22For dayH3117 by dayH3117 men cameH935 to DavidH1732 to helpH5826 him, untilH5704 there was a greatH1419 armyH4264 20like the armyH4264 of GodH430.
