In context
19Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said: “We are yours, David; we are with you, son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to the one who helps you, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them heads of the troop. 20Some of Manasseh defected to David when he came with the Philistines to fight against Saul, but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after taking counsel, saying, “He will defect to his master Saul, at the cost of our heads.” 21As he went to Ziklag, these of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, heads of the thousands of Manasseh. 22They helped David against the raiding band, for all of them were mighty warriors, and they became commanders in the army. 23For day after day men kept coming to David to help him, until it was a great camp, like the camp of God.
