1 Chronicles 12:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ Then the Holy Spirit came upon them, and Amasai, a leader of The Thirty, replied,

So David let them join him, and he made them captains of his army.

¹⁹ Some men from Manasseh deserted the Israeli army and joined David just as he was going into battle with the Philistines against King Saul. But as it turned out, the Philistine generals refused to let David and his men go with them. After much discussion they sent them back, for they were afraid that David and his men would imperil them by deserting to King Saul.

²⁰ Here is a list of the men from Manasseh who deserted to David as he was en route to Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, Zillethai.

Each was a high-ranking officer of Manasseh’s troops.
