1 Chronicles 12:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And the [a]spirit came upon Amasai, which was the chief of thirty, and he said, Thine are we, David, and with thee, O son of Jesse. Peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be unto thine helpers: for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the garrison.
19 ¶ And of Manasseh, some fell to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they [b]helped them not: for the Princes of the Philistines (A)by advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul [c]for our heads.
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, heads of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
