1 Chronicles 12:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸Then a spirit took hold of Amasai, the leader of the Thirty:

David, we are yours;
    and on your side, Jesse’s son!
May it go very well for you,
    and may it go well for whoever helps you!
    Yes, your God has helped you.

Then David received them, and put them at the head of his troops.

¹⁹Some of the Manassites also joined David when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul. But he^[a] didn’t help them, because after considering the matter, the Philistine rulers sent him away. “He’ll rejoin his master Saul,” they said, “and it will cost us our heads.” ²⁰When he went to Ziklag some joined him from Manasseh: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh.
