19. Some of MANASSEH also joined David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn't help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, "He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads."

20. As he went to Ziklag, some from MANASSEH joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of MANASSEH.

21. They helped David against the band of rovers; for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

22. For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God's army.

23. These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to The LORD's word.

25. Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand one hundred.

26. Of the children of Levi four thousand six hundred.

27. Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,

28. and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father's house twenty-two captains.

29. Of the children of Benjamin, Saul's relatives, three thousand: for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul's house.

30. Of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers' houses.

31. Of the half-tribe of MANASSEH eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.
