13_1CH

1CH-12:1 Now these [are] they that came to David to Ziklag,

while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish:

and they [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.

1CH-12:2 [They were] armed with bows, and could use both the

right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting]

arrows out of a bow, [even] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

1CH-12:3 The chief [was] Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of

Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of

Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

1CH-12:4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the

thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and

Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

1CH-12:5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and

Shephatiah the Haruphite,

1CH-12:6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and

Jashobeam, the Korhites,

1CH-12:7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

1CH-12:8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto

David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, [and] men of

war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler,

whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift

as the roes upon the mountains;

1CH-12:9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

1CH-12:10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

1CH-12:11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

1CH-12:12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

1CH-12:13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

1CH-12:14 These [were] of the sons of Gad, captains of the host:

one of the least [was] over an hundred, and the greatest over a

thousand.

1CH-12:15 These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first

month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to

flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and

toward the west.

1CH-12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah

to the hold unto David.

1CH-12:17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said

unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine

heart shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me

to mine enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in mine hands, the

God of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke [it].

1CH-12:18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of

the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy

side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace

[be] to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David

received them, and made them captains of the band.

1CH-12:19 And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he

came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they

helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon

advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master

Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.

1CH-12:20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,

Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and

Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] of

Manasseh.

1CH-12:21 And they helped David against the band [of the rovers]:

for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were captains in

the host.

1CH-12:22 For at [that] time day by day there came to David to

help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God.

1CH-12:23 And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were]

ready armed to the war, [and] came to David to Hebron, to turn

the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

1CH-12:24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear

[were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

1CH-12:25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for

the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

1CH-12:26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

1CH-12:27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and

with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;

1CH-12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his

father's house twenty and two captains.

1CH-12:29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul,

three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept

the ward of the house of Saul.

1CH-12:30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and

eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house

of their fathers.

1CH-12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand,

which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

1CH-12:32 And of the children of Issachar, [which were men] that

had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do;

the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren

[were] at their commandment.

1CH-12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in

war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could

keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.

1CH-12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them

with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

1CH-12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight

thousand and six hundred.

1CH-12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in

war, forty thousand.

1CH-12:37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites,

and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all

manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and

twenty thousand.

1CH-12:38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with

a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel:

and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to make

David king.

1CH-12:39 And there they were with David three days, eating and

drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

1CH-12:40 Moreover they that were nigh them, [even] unto

Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and

on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of

figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and

sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.
