1 Chronicles 12:8-18

8Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham from Gedor.

9Some of the Gadites there withdrew to follow David to the stronghold in the wilderness. They were valiant men trained for battle, armed with shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains.

10Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

11Mishmanna h the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

12Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

13Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

14Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

15These were the Gadites, leaders of the army. The least was equal to 100 and the greatest to 1,000.

16These were the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was overflowing its banks, routing all those in the valleys to the east and to the west.

17Some of the children of Benjamin and also from Judah came to David at the stronghold.

18David went out to meet them and answered them saying, “If you come to me in peace to support me, then my heart will be united with you. But if it is to betray me to my adversaries, when my hands have done no wrong, then may the God of our fathers take notice and judge.”
