1 Chronicles 12 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Now these ^H428 are the ones who came ^H935 to David ^H1732 at Ziklag ^H6860, while he was still ^H5750 restricted ^H6113 because ^H4480 H6440 of Saul ^H7586 the son ^H1121 of Kish ^H7027; and they were among the mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 who helped ^H5826 him in war ^H4421.

The chief ^H7218 was Ahiezer ^H295, then Joash ^H3060, the sons ^H1121 of Shemaah ^H8094 the Gibeathite ^H1395; and Jeziel ^H3149 and Pelet ^H6404, the sons ^H1121 of Azmaveth ^H5820, and Beracah ^H1294 and Jehu ^H3058 the Anathothite ^H6069,

and Ishmaiah ^H3460 the Gibeonite ^H1393, a mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 among the thirty ^H7970, and over ^H5921 the thirty ^H7970. [fn]Then Jeremiah ^H3414, Jahaziel ^H3166, Johanan ^H3076, Jozabad ^H3107 the Gederathite ^H1452,

[fn]Eluzai ^H498, Jerimoth ^H3406, Bealiah ^H1183, Shemariah ^H8114, Shephatiah ^H8203 the Haruphite ^H2741,

Elkanah ^H511, Isshiah ^H3449, Azarel ^H5832, Joezer ^H3134, Jashobeam ^H3434, the Korahites ^H7145,

and Joelah ^H3132 and Zebadiah ^H2069, the sons ^H1121 of Jeroham ^H3395 of Gedor ^H1446.

From the Gadites ^H1425, mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 of valor ^H2428 separated ^H914 themselves ^H914 to David ^H1732 in the stronghold ^H4679 in the wilderness ^H4057, men ^H376 of war ^H6635 who had gone out for military duty ^H4421, who could [fn]handle ^H6186 large ^H6793 shield ^H6793 and spear ^H7420, and whose faces ^H6440 were like the faces ^H6440 of lions ^H738, and they were as swift ^H4116 as the gazelles ^H6643 on the mountains ^H2022.

Ezer ^H5829 was the first ^H7218, Obadiah ^H5662 the second ^H8145, Eliab ^H446 the third ^H7992,

Mishmannah ^H4925 the fourth ^H7243, Jeremiah ^H3414 the fifth ^H2549,

Attai ^H6262 the sixth ^H8345, Eliel ^H447 the seventh ^H7637,

Johanan ^H3076 the eighth ^H8066, Elzabad ^H443 the ninth ^H8671,

Jeremiah ^H3414 the tenth ^H6224, Machbannai ^H4344 the eleventh ^H6249 H6240.

These ^H428 of the sons ^H1121 of Gad ^H1410 were chiefs ^H7218 of the army ^H6635; he who was least ^H6996 was equal to one hundred ^H3967 and the greatest ^H1419 to one thousand ^H505.

Then some ^H4480 of the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144 and Judah ^H3063 came ^H935 to the stronghold ^H4679 to David ^H1732.

“We are yours, O David ^H1732,

And with you, O son ^H1121 of Jesse ^H3448!

Peace ^H7965, peace ^H7965 to you,

And peace ^H7965 to him who helps ^H5826 you;

Indeed ^H3588, your God ^H430 helps ^H5826 you!”

Then David ^H1732 received ^H6901 them and made ^H5414 them chiefs ^H7218 of the band ^H1416.

Now from Manasseh ^H4519 also some ^H4480 defected ^H5307 to David ^H1732 when he was about to go ^H935 to battle ^H4421 with the Philistines ^H6430 against ^H5921 Saul ^H7586. But they did not help ^H5826 them, for the lords ^H5633 of the Philistines ^H6430 after counsel ^H6098 sent ^H7971 him away ^H7971, saying ^H559, “At the cost of our heads ^H7218 he may defect ^H5307 to his master ^H113 Saul ^H7586.”

Now these ^H428 are the numbers ^H4557 of the [fn]companies ^H7218 equipped ^H2502 for military duty ^H6635, who came ^H935 to David ^H1732 at Hebron ^H2275, to turn ^H5437 the kingdom ^H4438 of Saul ^H7586 to him, according to the [fn]command ^H6310 of Yahweh ^H3068.

The sons ^H1121 of Judah ^H3063 who bore ^H5375 shield ^H6793 and spear ^H7420 were 6,800 ^{H8337 H505 H8083 H3967}, equipped ^H2502 for military duty ^H6635.

Now Jehoiada ^H3077 was the leader ^H5057 of the house of Aaron ^H175, and with him were 3,700 ^{H7969 H505 H7651 H3967},

also Zadok ^H6659, a young ^H5288 man ^H5288 mighty ^H1368 of valor ^H2428, and of his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004 22 ^H6242 H8147 commanders ^H8269.

Of the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144, Saul’s ^H7586 relatives ^H251, 3,000 ^H7969 H505; for until ^H5704 now ^H2008 the greatest ^H4768 part ^H4768 of them had kept ^H8104 their allegiance ^H4931 to the house ^H1004 of Saul ^H7586.

Of the sons ^H1121 of Ephraim ^H669 20,800 ^{H6242 H505 H8083 H3967}, mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 of valor ^H2428, men ^H376 [fn]who had a name ^H8034 in their fathers’ ^H1 households ^H1004.

Of the sons ^H1121 of Issachar ^H3485, men who knew ^H3045 how to discern ^H998 the times ^H6256, to know ^H3045 what ^H4100 Israel ^H3478 should do ^H6213, their chiefs ^H7218 were two hundred ^H3967; and all ^H3605 their relatives ^H251 were at their command ^H6310.

Of Zebulun ^H2074, there were 50,000 ^H2572 H505 who went ^H3318 out ^H3318 in the army ^H6635, who could arrange ^H6186 themselves for battle ^H4421 with all ^H3605 kinds of weapons ^H3627 of war ^H4421 and helped ^H5737 David [fn]with an undivided ^H3808 H3820 heart ^H3820.

Of Naphtali ^H5321 there were 1,000 ^H505 commanders ^H8269, and with them 37,000 ^{H7970 H7651 H505} with large ^H6793 shield ^H6793 and spear ^H2595.

From the other ^H5676 side ^H5676 of the Jordan ^H3383, of the Reubenites ^H7206 and the Gadites ^H1425 and of the half-tribe ^H2677 H7626 of Manasseh ^H4519, there were 120,000 ^{H3967 H6242 H505} with all ^H3605 kinds of weapons ^H3627 for the army ^H6635 for battle ^H4421.

All ^H3605 these ^H428, being men ^H376 of war ^H4421 who could draw ^H5737 up ^H5737 in battle ^H4634 [fn]lines ^H4634, came ^H935 to Hebron ^H2275 with their whole ^H8003 heart ^H3824 to make ^H4427 David ^H1732 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478; and all ^H3605 the rest ^H7611 also ^H1571 of Israel ^H3478 were of one ^H259 heart ^H3820 to make ^H4427 David ^H1732 king ^H4427.
