The Mighty Men Join David at Ziklag
12 Now these [were] the [men] who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish( they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle; 2 they were archers using both the right and left [hands] [to sling] stones and [shoot] arrows [and they were] Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
8 Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces [were like] the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least [of whom] was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
15 These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all [those] in the valleys, [both] to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 And David went out to meet them, saying “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see [it] and judge you.”
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.
19 Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul.( They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
22 For at [that] time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
David’s Army Grows at Hebron
23 Now these [are] the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:
24 From Judah6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
25 From Simeon7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.
26 From Levi4,600 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with3,700 men, 28 and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family
29 From Benjamin the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000 , most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
30 From Ephraim20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh:[fn] 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
32 From Issachar [men] who understood the times and knew what Israel should do:200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
33 From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war who with one purpose were devoted [to David].[fn]
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service prepared for battle.
37 And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh [there]: 120,000 [armed] with every [kind] of weapon of war.
38 All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites [were] of one mind to make David king.
39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them. 40 And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.
12:31 That is, the half-tribe of Manasseh west of the Jordan
12:33 LXX; Hebrew does not include to David.
