1 Chronicles 12:18-20
International Standard Version
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, leader of the Thirty, and he said,
“David, we belong to you;
we’re with you, son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
and peace to the one who helps you!
For your deliverer is your God.”
So David received them and assigned them to be officers over troops. 19 Some of the descendants of Manasseh joined[a] David when he was going to fight against Saul, accompanied by the Philistines. Even so, David was of no help to them, because the Philistine rulers were counseled to send him away. They told themselves, “He’s going to go over to his master Saul at the cost of our heads.”
20 As he traveled toward Ziklag, these descendants of Manasseh joined[b] him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders in charge thousands in Manasseh.
