These are the numbers of armed warriors who joined David at Hebron. They were all eager to see David become king instead of Saul, just as the Lord had promised.From the tribe of Judah, there were 6,800 warriors armed with shields and spears.From the tribe of Simeon, there were 7,100 brave warriors.From the tribe of Levi, there were 4,600 warriors.This included Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, who had 3,700 under his command.This also included Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 members of his family who were all officers.From the tribe of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives, there were 3,000 warriors. Most of the men from Benjamin had remained loyal to Saul until this time.From the tribe of Ephraim, there were 20,800 brave warriors, each highly respected in his own clan.From the half tribe of Manasseh west of the Jordan, 18,000 men were designated by name to help David become king.From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives.

In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their king.They feasted and drank with David for three days, for preparations had been made by their relatives for their arrival.And people from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. Vast supplies of flour, fig cakes, clusters of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, sheep, and goats were brought to the celebration. There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.

“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, the child of my vigorous youth. You are first in rank and first in power.But you are as unruly as a flood, and you will be first no longer. For you went to bed with my wife; you defiled my marriage couch.“ Simeon and Levi are two of a kind; their weapons are instruments of violence.May I never join in their meetings; may I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men, and they crippled oxen just for sport.A curse on their anger, for it is fierce; a curse on their wrath, for it is cruel. I will scatter them among the descendants of Jacob; I will disperse them throughout Israel.“ Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will grasp your enemies by the neck. All your relatives will bow before you.Judah, my son, is a young lion that has finished eating its prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness— who dares to rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.He ties his foal to a grapevine, the colt of his donkey to a choice vine. He washes his clothes in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.“ Zebulun will settle by the seashore and will be a harbor for ships; his borders will extend to Sidon.“ Issachar is a sturdy donkey, resting between two saddlepacks.When he sees how good the countryside is and how pleasant the land, he will bend his shoulder to the load and submit himself to hard labor.“ Dan will govern his people, like any other tribe in Israel.Dan will be a snake beside the road, a poisonous viper along the path that bites the horse’s hooves so its rider is thrown off.I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!“ Gad will be attacked by marauding bands, but he will attack them when they retreat.“ Asher will dine on rich foods and produce food fit for kings.“ Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.“ Joseph is the foal of a wild donkey, the foal of a wild donkey at a spring— one of the wild donkeys on the ridge.Archers attacked him savagely; they shot at him and harassed him.But his bow remained taut, and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.May the God of your father help you; may the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, and blessings of the watery depths below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.May my fatherly blessings on you surpass the blessings of my ancestors, reaching to the heights of the eternal hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, who is a prince among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, devouring his enemies in the morning and dividing his plunder in the evening.”

When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to have children, but Rachel could not conceive.So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ The Lord has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me.”She soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon, for she said,“ The Lord heard that I was unloved and has given me another son.”Then she became pregnant a third time and gave birth to another son. He was named Levi, for she said,“ Surely this time my husband will feel affection for me, since I have given him three sons!”Once again Leah became pregnant and gave birth to another son. She named him Judah, for she said,“ Now I will praise the Lord!” And then she stopped having children.When Rachel saw that she wasn’t having any children for Jacob, she became jealous of her sister. She pleaded with Jacob,“ Give me children, or I’ll die!”Then Jacob became furious with Rachel.“ Am I God?” he asked.“ He’s the one who has kept you from having children!”Then Rachel told him,“ Take my maid, Bilhah, and sleep with her. She will bear children for me, and through her I can have a family, too.”So Rachel gave her servant, Bilhah, to Jacob as a wife, and he slept with her.Bilhah became pregnant and presented him with a son.Rachel named him Dan, for she said,“ God has vindicated me! He has heard my request and given me a son.”Then Bilhah became pregnant again and gave Jacob a second son.Rachel named him Naphtali, for she said,“ I have struggled hard with my sister, and I’m winning!”Meanwhile, Leah realized that she wasn’t getting pregnant anymore, so she took her servant, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.Soon Zilpah presented him with a son.Leah named him Gad, for she said,“ How fortunate I am!”Then Zilpah gave Jacob a second son.And Leah named him Asher, for she said,“ What joy is mine! Now the other women will celebrate with me.”One day during the wheat harvest, Reuben found some mandrakes growing in a field and brought them to his mother, Leah. Rachel begged Leah,“ Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”But Leah angrily replied,“ Wasn’t it enough that you stole my husband? Now will you steal my son’s mandrakes, too?” Rachel answered,“ I will let Jacob sleep with you tonight if you give me some of the mandrakes.”So that evening, as Jacob was coming home from the fields, Leah went out to meet him.“ You must come and sleep with me tonight!” she said.“ I have paid for you with some mandrakes that my son found.” So that night he slept with Leah.And God answered Leah’s prayers. She became pregnant again and gave birth to a fifth son for Jacob.She named him Issachar, for she said,“ God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband as a wife.”Then Leah became pregnant again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob.She named him Zebulun, for she said,“ God has given me a good reward. Now my husband will treat me with respect, for I have given him six sons.”Later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
