18 Then (A)the Spirit [a]covered (B)Amasai like clothing, the chief of the thirty; and he said,

We are yours, David,
And are with you, son of Jesse!
(C)Peace, peace to you,
And peace to him who helps you;
Indeed, your God helps you!”

Then David received them and made them [b]captains of the troops.

19 (D)From Manasseh some also defected to David when he was about to go to battle with the Philistines against Saul. But they did not help them, because the governors of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “At the cost of our heads he might defect to his master Saul.” 20 As he was going to Ziklag, men from Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, [c]captains of thousands who belonged to Manasseh.
