[14 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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.* [15 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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.* [16 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/12/16) And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David. [17 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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*.*** [18 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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.* [19 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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.* [20 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/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.

[23 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/12/23) ΒΆ 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.* [24 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/12/24) The children of Judah that bare shield and spear *were* six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.* [25 ](/kjv/1-chronicles/12/25) Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
