1 Chronicles 12 1-1 Chronicles 12 40
Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul the son of Kish. And they were among the mighty men who helped him in war.They were bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the left hand; they were Benjaminites, Saul’s kinsmen.The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, both sons of Shemaah of Gibeah; also Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah, Jehu of Anathoth,Ishmaiah of Gibeon, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad of Gederah,Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, Shephatiah the Haruphite;Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.From the Gadites there went over to David at the stronghold in the wilderness mighty and experienced warriors, expert with shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were swift as gazelles upon the mountains:Ezer the chief, Obadiah second, Eliab third,Mishmannah fourth, Jeremiah fifth,Attai sixth, Eliel seventh,Johanan eighth, Elzabad ninth,Jeremiah tenth, Machbannai eleventh.These Gadites were officers of the army; the least was a match for a hundred men and the greatest for a thousand.These are the men who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks, and put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.And some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.David went out to meet them and said to them,“ If you have come to me in friendship to help me, my heart will be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, although there is no wrong in my hands, then may the God of our fathers see and rebuke you.”Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said,“ We are yours, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers! For your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them officers of his troops.Some of the men of Manasseh deserted to David when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul.( Yet he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away, saying,“ At peril to our heads he will desert to his master Saul.”)As he went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh deserted to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were commanders in the army.For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God.These are the numbers of the divisions of the armed troops who came to David in Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, according to the word of the Lord.The men of Judah bearing shield and spear were 6,800 armed troops.Of the Simeonites, mighty men of valor for war, 7,100.Of the Levites 4,600.The prince Jehoiada, of the house of Aaron, and with him 3,700.Zadok, a young man mighty in valor, and twenty-two commanders from his own fathers’ house.Of the Benjaminites, the kinsmen of Saul, 3,000, of whom the majority had to that point kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.Of the Ephraimites 20,800, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 18,000, who were expressly named to come and make David king.Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command.Of Zebulun 50,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David with singleness of purpose.Of Naphtali 1,000 commanders with whom were 37,000 men armed with shield and spear.Of the Danites 28,600 men equipped for battle.Of Asher 40,000 seasoned troops ready for battle.Of the Reubenites and Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh from beyond the Jordan, 120,000 men armed with all the weapons of war.All these, men of war, arrayed in battle order, came to Hebron with a whole heart to make David king over all Israel. Likewise, all the rest of Israel were of a single mind to make David king.And they were there with David for three days, eating and drinking, for their brothers had made preparation for them.And also their relatives, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came bringing food on donkeys and on camels and on mules and on oxen, abundant provisions of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, and wine and oil, oxen and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.

Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”

Each man had to make provision for one month in the year.These were their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;Ben-deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth-shemesh, and Elonbeth-hanan;Ben-hesed, in Arubboth( to him belonged Socoh and all the land of Hepher);Ben-abinadab, in all Naphath-dor( he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as his wife);Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth-shean that is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, and from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the other side of Jokmeam;Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead( he had the villages of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;Ahimaaz, in Naphtali( he had taken Basemath the daughter of Solomon as his wife);Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan. And there was one governor who was over the land.Judah and Israel were as many as the sand by the sea. They ate and drank and were happy.Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour and sixty cors of meal,ten fat oxen, and twenty pasture-fed cattle, a hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.For he had dominion over all the region west of the Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings west of the Euphrates. And he had peace on all sides around him.And Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon.Solomon also had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots, and 12,000 horsemen.And those officers supplied provisions for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon’s table, each one in his month. They let nothing be lacking.Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the place where it was required, each according to his duty.And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore,so that Solomon’s wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol, and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005.He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall. He spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish.And people of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

Then Judah went up to him and said,“ Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.My lord asked his servants, saying,‘ Have you a father, or a brother?’And we said to my lord,‘ We have a father, an old man, and a young brother, the child of his old age. His brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’Then you said to your servants,‘ Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’We said to my lord,‘ The boy cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’Then you said to your servants,‘ Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not see my face again.’“ When we went back to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.And when our father said,‘ Go again, buy us a little food,’we said,‘ We cannot go down. If our youngest brother goes with us, then we will go down. For we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.One left me, and I said,“ Surely he has been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since.If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs in evil to Sheol.’“ Now therefore, as soon as I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us, then, as his life is bound up in the boy’s life,as soon as he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.For your servant became a pledge of safety for the boy to my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.’Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a servant to my lord, and let the boy go back with his brothers.For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I fear to see the evil that would find my father.”
