00:00.000 --> 00:06.940
Chapter 12 Now these are they that came to
David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself

00:06.940 --> 00:09.040
close because of Saul the son of Kish.

00:09.460 --> 00:12.220
And they were among the mighty men,
helpers of the war.

00:12.840 --> 00:17.080
They were armed with bows, and could use
both the right hand and the left in

00:17.080 --> 00:21.800
hurling stones and shooting arrows out of
the bow, even of Saul's brethren of

00:21.800 --> 00:22.160
Benjamin.

00:22.160 --> 00:29.520
The chief was Ahaziah, then Joash the sons
of Shemaiah the Gibeothite, and Jezeel and

00:29.520 --> 00:36.120
Pilate the sons of Asmaveth, and Berekeh
and Jehu the Antithite, and Ismaiah the

00:36.120 --> 00:41.540
Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty,
and over the thirty, and Jeremiah,

00:42.040 --> 00:48.320
and Jehaziel, and Johanan, and Josabath
the Gadarathite, Elusai, and Jeremoth,

00:48.820 --> 00:55.400
and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah
the Heruphite, Elkanah, and Josiah,

00:55.800 --> 01:02.580
and Azariel, and Joesa, and Jashobim the
Korhites, and Joila, and Zebediah the sons

01:02.580 --> 01:03.740
of Jeroham of Gedor.

01:04.340 --> 01:08.400
And of the Gadites there separated
themselves unto David into the hold to the

01:08.400 --> 01:13.080
wilderness, men of might, and men of war
fit for the battle, that could handle

01:13.080 --> 01:18.380
shield and buckler, whose faces were like
the faces of lions, and were as swift as

01:18.380 --> 01:19.780
the rose upon the mountains.

01:20.560 --> 01:26.180
Esa the first, Obadiah the second,
Eliab the third, Mishmah the fourth,

01:26.780 --> 01:32.740
Jeremiah the fifth, Attai the sixth,
Elial the seventh, Johanan the eighth,

01:33.340 --> 01:38.560
Elzabath the ninth, Jeremiah the tenth,
Machbanai the eleventh.

01:39.440 --> 01:42.400
These were of the sons of Gad,
captains of the host.

01:43.000 --> 01:46.960
One of the least was over an hundred,
and the greatest over a thousand.

01:47.620 --> 01:52.220
These are they that went over Jordan in
the first month, when it had overflown all

01:52.220 --> 01:52.860
his banks.

01:53.580 --> 01:58.140
And they put to flight all them of the
valleys, both toward the east and toward

01:58.140 --> 01:58.660
the west.

01:59.120 --> 02:03.160
And there came of the children of Benjamin
and Judah to the hold unto David.

02:03.780 --> 02:07.540
And David went out to meet them,
and answered, and said unto them,

02:07.760 --> 02:12.460
If ye become peaceably unto me to help me,
mine heart shall be knit unto you.

02:12.460 --> 02:17.960
But if ye become to betray me to mine
enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine

02:17.960 --> 02:21.860
hands, the God of our fathers look thereon
and rebuke it.

02:22.240 --> 02:25.740
Then the Spirit came upon Amasai,
who was chief of the captains,

02:25.940 --> 02:31.560
and he said, Thine are we, David,
and on thy side thou son of Jesse.

02:32.320 --> 02:37.680
Peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to
thine helpers, for thy God helpeth thee.

02:37.680 --> 02:41.100
Then David received them, and made them
captains of the band.

02:41.820 --> 02:45.860
And there fell some of Manasseh to David,
when he came with the Philistines against

02:45.860 --> 02:46.740
Saul to battle.

02:47.260 --> 02:51.400
But they helped them not, for the lords of
the Philistines, upon advisement,

02:51.780 --> 02:57.780
sent him away, saying, He will fall to his
master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

02:57.780 --> 03:03.220
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of
Manasseh, Adna, and Jehozabad,

03:03.480 --> 03:09.780
and Judaeel, and Michael, and Jehozabad,
and Elihu, and Zilthi, captains of the

03:09.780 --> 03:11.340
thousands that were of Manasseh.

03:11.980 --> 03:16.180
And they helped David against the band of
the rovers, for they were all mighty men

03:16.180 --> 03:18.160
of valor, and were captains in the host.

03:18.740 --> 03:23.500
For at that time, day by day, there came
to David to help him, until it was a great

03:23.500 --> 03:25.760
host, like the host of God.

03:26.580 --> 03:30.180
And these are the numbers of the bands
that were ready armed to the war,

03:30.600 --> 03:35.580
and came to David to Hebron, to turn the
kingdom of Saul to him, according to the

03:35.580 --> 03:36.340
word of the Lord.

03:36.980 --> 03:43.200
The children of Judah, that bear shield
and spear, were 6,800, ready armed to the

03:43.200 --> 03:43.480
war.

03:44.080 --> 03:48.780
Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of
valor for the war, 7,100.

03:49.580 --> 03:52.860
Of the children of Levi, 4,600.

03:53.540 --> 03:59.260
And Jehoiada was the leader of the
Aaronites, and with him were 3,700.

04:00.180 --> 04:05.580
And Zadok, a young man mighty of valor,
and of his father's house, 20 and 2

04:05.580 --> 04:06.220
captains.

04:07.040 --> 04:12.080
And of the children of Benjamin,
the kindred of Saul, 3,000, for hitherto

04:12.080 --> 04:15.200
the greatest part of them had kept the
ward of the house of Saul.

04:16.060 --> 04:21.860
And of the children of Ephraim,
20,800, mighty men of valor, famous

04:21.860 --> 04:23.360
throughout the house of their fathers.

04:24.040 --> 04:28.860
And of the half tribe of Manasseh,
18,000, which were expressed by name,

04:29.220 --> 04:30.960
to come and make David king.

04:31.700 --> 04:35.280
And of the children of Issachar,
which were men that had understanding of

04:35.280 --> 04:38.080
the times, to know what Israel ought to
do.

04:38.780 --> 04:43.240
The heads of them were 200, and all their
brethren were at their commandment.

04:43.240 --> 04:49.200
Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle,
expert in war, with all instruments of

04:49.200 --> 04:51.780
war, 50,000, which could keep rank.

04:52.620 --> 04:54.060
They were not of double heart.

04:55.080 --> 04:59.400
And of Naphtali, 1,000 captains,
and with them with shield and spear,

04:59.520 --> 05:00.780
30 and 7,000.

05:01.560 --> 05:05.560
And of the Danites, expert in war,
20 and 8,600.

05:06.500 --> 05:11.620
And of Asher, such as went forth to
battle, expert in war, 40,000.

05:11.620 --> 05:15.440
And on the other side of Jordan,
of the Reubenites and the Gadites,

05:15.740 --> 05:19.740
and of the half tribe of Manasseh,
with all manner of instruments of war for

05:19.740 --> 05:22.460
the battle, 120,000.

05:22.960 --> 05:27.940
All these men of war, that could keep
rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron,

05:28.120 --> 05:30.420
to make David king over all Israel.

05:31.000 --> 05:35.280
And all the rest, also of Israel,
were of one heart to make David king.

05:36.060 --> 05:40.200
And there they were with David three days,
eating and drinking, for their brethren

05:40.200 --> 05:41.120
had prepared for them.

05:41.680 --> 05:46.280
Moreover, they that were nigh,
them, even unto Issachar, and Zebulun,

05:46.560 --> 05:50.940
and Naphtali, brought bread on asses,
and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen,

05:51.320 --> 05:55.940
and meat, meal, cakes of figs,
and bunches of raisins, and wine,

05:56.220 --> 05:58.880
and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly.

05:59.600 --> 06:01.340
For there was joy in Israel.
