1 Chronicles 12:8-15

8Some brave and experienced warriors from the tribe of Gad also defected to David while he was at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were expert with both shield and spear, as fierce as lions and as swift as deer on the mountains.

9Ezer was their leader. Obadiah was second. Eliab was third.

10Mishmannah was fourth. Jeremiah was fifth.

11Attai was sixth. Eliel was seventh.

12Johanan was eighth. Elzabad was ninth.

13Jeremiah was tenth. Macbannai was eleventh.

14These warriors from Gad were army commanders. The weakest among them could take on a hundred regular troops, and the strongest could take on a thousand!

15These were the men who crossed the Jordan River during its seasonal flooding at the beginning of the year and drove out all the people living in the lowlands on both the east and west banks.
