1 Chronicles 12

1NowH935 theseH428 are they that cameH935 to DavidH1732 to ZiklagH6860, whileH5750 he yet keptH6113 himselfH6440 closeH6113 becauseH6440 of SaulH7586 the sonH1121 of KishH7027: and they were among the mightyH1368 menH1368, his helpersH5826 in warH4421. 2They were armed with bowsH7198, and could use both the rightH3231 handH3231 and the leftH8041 in slinging stonesH68 and in shooting arrowsH2671 from the bowH7198; they were of Saul’sH7586 brethrenH251 of BenjaminH1144. 3The chiefH7218 was AhiezerH295, then JoashH3101, the sonsH1121 of ShemaahH8094 the GibeathiteH1395; and JezielH3149, and PeletH6404, the sonsH1121 of AzmavethH5820; and BeracahH1294, and JehuH3058 the AnathothiteH6069; 4and IshmaiahH3460 the GibeoniteH1393, a mightyH1368 manH1368 among the thirtyH7970 and over the thirtyH7970; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite; 5Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites; 7and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 8And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David to the hold in the wilderness, mighty menH1121 of valour, menH1121 trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whoseH1121 faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 9Ezer the chief, 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 captains of the host: he that was least was equal to an hundred, and the greatest to a thousand. 15TheseH428 are they that went over Jordan in the firstH259 month, when it had overflown allH259 its banks; and they put to flight allH259 them of the valleys, both towardH259 the east, and towardH259 the west. 16And there cameH4217 of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David. 17And DavidH1732 wentH935 outH4480 to meet them, and answeredH935 and said unto them, IfH1121 ye be comeH935 peaceably unto meH4480 to help meH4480, mineH4480 heart shall be knit unto youH5704: but ifH1121 ye be comeH935 to betray meH4480 to mineH4480 adversaries, seeing there is noH4480 wrong in mineH4480 hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 18Then the spirit cameH935 uponH5921 Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he saidH559, Thine are weH518, DavidH1732, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peaceH7965, peaceH7965 be unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine helpersH5826; for thy GodH430 helpeth thee. Then DavidH1732 receivedH935 them, and madeH1961 them captains of the band. 19Of Manasseh also there fell awayH5973 some to DavidH1732, when he cameH3847 with the Philistines againstH5973 Saul to battle, but they helpedH5826 them notH1732: for the lords of the Philistines uponH3847 advisement sentH5414 him awayH5973, saying, He will fall awayH5973 to his masterH5414 Saul to the jeopardy of our headsH7218. 20As he wentH935 to Ziklag, there fellH5307 to him of ManassehH4519, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captainsH7218 of thousands that were of ManassehH4519. 21And they helped David againstH5921 the bandH7218 of rovers: for they were allH505 mighty menH7218 of valour, and were captainsH7218 in the host. 22For from day to day there cameH1961 to DavidH1732 to helpH5826 him, untilH5921 it was a greatH1368 hostH6635, like the hostH6635 of God. 23And these are the numbers of the heads of them that were armed for war, which cameH935 to DavidH1732 to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, accordingH5921 to the word of the LORD. 24The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armedH2502 for warH6635. 25Of the childrenH1121 of Simeon, mighty menH1121 of valour for the warH6635, seven thousandH505 and one hundredH3967. 26Of the childrenH1121 of Levi four thousandH505 and six hundredH3967. 27And Jehoiada was the leader of the house of Aaron, and with him were threeH702 thousandH505 and seven hundredH3967; 28and Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father’s house twenty and twoH3967 captains. 29And of the childrenH5288 of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the houseH1004 of Saul. 30And of the childrenH1121 of Ephraim twenty thousandH505 and eight hundred, mighty menH1121 of valour, famous menH1121 in their fathers’ housesH1004. 31And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousandH505, whichH1004 were expressed by nameH8034, to come and makeH8034 David king. 32And of the children of Issachar, men that had understanding of the times, to know whatH834 Israel ought to doH935; the heads of them were twoH2677 hundred; and allH505 their brethren were at their commandment. 33Of Zebulun, suchH3605 as were able to go outH3045 in the host, that couldH4100 setH6213 the battle in array, with allH3605 manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand; and that couldH4100 order the battle array, and were notH3045 of double heart. 34And of Naphtali a thousandH505 captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousandH505. 35And of the Danites that could set the battle in array, twenty and eight thousandH505 and six hundred. 36And of Asher, such as were able to go outH4480 in the host, that could set the battleH4421 in arrayH4421, forty thousandH505. 37And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with allH505 manner of instruments of warH4421 for the battleH4421, an hundred and twenty thousandH505. 38AllH3605 theseH3605, being menH3605 of warH4421, that could order the battleH4421 arrayH6635, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over allH3605 IsraelH4421: and allH3605 the rest also of IsraelH4421 were of one heart to make David king. 39And they were there with DavidH1732 three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had madeH3605 preparation for them. 40MoreoverH1961 they that were nigh unto them, evenH3588 as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, broughtH1961 bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victual of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel:
