1 Chronicles 12 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

From the Gadites ^H1425 valiant ^H2428 mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 went ^H914 over ^H914 to David ^H1732 at the stronghold ^H4679 in the wilderness ^H4057, men ^H376 trained ^H6635 for war ^H4421 who could handle ^H6186 a large ^H6793 shield ^H6793 and spear ^H7420, 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.

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, David ^H1732,

And are with you, 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 [fn]captains ^H7218 of the troops ^H1416.

From Manasseh ^H4519 some ^H4480 also 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, because ^H3588 the governors ^H5633 of the Philistines ^H6430 sent ^H7971 him away ^H7971 after consultation ^H6098, saying ^H559, “At the cost of our heads ^H7218 he might defect ^H5307 to his master ^H113 Saul ^H7586.”

Now these ^H428 are the numbers ^H4557 of the [fn]divisions ^H7218 equipped ^H2502 for war ^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]word ^H6310 of the LORD ^H3068.

All ^H3605 of these ^H428, being men ^H376 of war ^H4421 who helped ^H5737 in battle ^H4634 formation ^H4634, came ^H935 to Hebron ^H2275 with a perfect ^H8003 heart ^H3824 to make ^H4427 David ^H1732 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478; and all ^H3605 the rest ^H7611 of Israel ^H3478 also ^H1571 were of one ^H259 mind ^H3820 to make ^H4427 David ^H1732 king ^H4427.
