1 Chronicles 12:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 This is a list of the men who came to David while he was at Ziklag. This was when David was hiding from Saul son of Kish. These men helped David in battle.
2 They could shoot arrows from their bows with either their right or left hand. They could also throw stones from their slings with either their right or left hand. They were Saul's relatives from the tribe of Benjamin. They were
3 Ahiezer, their leader, and Joash (sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite); Jeziel and Pelet (sons of Azmaveth); Beracah and Jehu from the town of Anathoth;
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite (a hero and leader of the Thirty Heroes); Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from the Gederathites;
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, and Shemariah; Shephatiah from Haripha;
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, all from the tribe of Korah;
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from the town of Gedor.
8 Part of the tribe of Gad joined David at his fortress in the desert. They were brave soldiers trained for war and skilled with the shield and spear. They looked as fierce as lions, and they could run as fast as gazelles through the mountains.
9 Ezer was the leader of the army from the tribe of Gad. Obadiah was the second in command. Eliab was the third in command.
10 Mishmannah was the fourth in command. Jeremiah was the fifth in command.
11 Attai was the sixth in command. Eliel was the seventh in command.
12 Johanan was the eighth in command. Elzabad was the ninth in command.
13 Jeremiah was the tenth in command. Macbannai was the eleventh in command.
14 These men were leaders of the Gadite army. The weakest from that group was worth 100 men, and the strongest was worth 1000 men.
15 They were the soldiers who crossed the Jordan River in the first month of the year, when it was flooded over its banks. They chased away the people in the valley who were on both sides of the river.
16 Other men from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah also came to David at the fortress.
17 David went out to meet them and said, "If you have come in peace to help me, I welcome you. Join me. But if you have come to spy on me when I have done nothing wrong, may the God of our ancestors see what you did and punish you."
18 Amasai was the leader of the Thirty Heroes. Then the Spirit came on Amasai, and he said, "We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse. Peace, peace to you. Peace to those who help you, because your God helps you." So David welcomed these men into his group and put them in charge of the troops.
19 Some of the men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David. They joined him when he went with the Philistines to fight Saul. But David and his men did not really help the Philistines. The Philistine leaders talked about David helping them, but then they decided to send him away. They said, "If David goes back to his master Saul, our heads will be cut off!"
20 These were the men from Manasseh who joined David when he went to the town of Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. All of them were generals from the tribe of Manasseh.
21 They helped David fight against bad men who were going around the country and stealing things from people. All these men of Manasseh were brave soldiers. They became leaders in David's army.
22 More and more men came every day to help David. So he had a large and powerful army.
23 These are the numbers of the men who came to David at the town of Hebron. These men were ready for war. They came to give Saul's kingdom to David. That is what the Lord said would happen. This is their number:
24 From the tribe of Judah there were 6800 men ready for war. They carried shields and spears.
25 From the tribe of Simeon there were 7100 men. They were brave soldiers ready for war.
26 From the tribe of Levi there were 4600 men.
27 Jehoiada was in that group. He was a leader from Aaron's family. There were 3700 men with Jehoiada.
28 Zadok was also in that group. He was a brave young soldier. He came with 22 officers from his family.
29 From the tribe of Benjamin there were 3000 men. They were Saul's relatives. Most of them stayed faithful to Saul's family until that time.
30 From the tribe of Ephraim there were 20,800 men. They were brave soldiers. They were famous men in their own families.
31 From half the tribe of Manasseh there were 18,000 men. They were called by name to come and make David king.
32 From the family of Issachar there were 200 wise leaders. These men understood the right thing for Israel to do at the right time. Their relatives were with them and under their command.
33 From the tribe of Zebulun there were 50,000 trained soldiers. They were trained to use all kinds of weapons and were very loyal to David.
34 From the tribe of Naphtali there were 1000 officers. They had 37,000 men with them. These men carried shields and spears.
35 From the tribe of Dan there were 28,600 men ready for war.
36 From the tribe of Asher there were 40,000 trained soldiers ready for war.
37 From the east side of the Jordan River, there were 120,000 men from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh. They had all kinds of weapons.
38 All these men were brave fighters. They came to the town of Hebron for only one reason�to make David king of all Israel. All the other Israelites also agreed that David should be king.
39 The men spent three days at Hebron with David. They ate and drank, because their relatives had prepared food for them.
40 Also, their neighbors from the areas where the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali live brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and cattle. They brought much flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep. The people in Israel were very happy.
1 Now these H428 are they that came H935 to H413 David H1732 to Ziklag, H6860 while he yet H5750 kept himself close H6113 because H4480 H6440 of Saul H7586 the son H1121 of Kish: H7027 and they H1992 were among the mighty men, H1368 helpers H5826 of the war. H4421
2 They were armed H5401 with bows, H7198 and could use both the right hand H3231 and the left H8041 in hurling stones H68 and shooting arrows H2671 out of a bow, H7198 even of Saul's brethren H4480 H251 H7586 of Benjamin H4480. H1144

8 And of H4480 the Gadites H1425 there separated themselves H914 unto H413 David H1732 into the hold H4679 to the wilderness H4057 men H1368 of might, H2428 and men H376 of war H6635 fit for the battle, H4421 that could handle H6186 shield H6793 and buckler, H7420 whose faces H6440 were like the faces H6440 of lions, H738 and were as swift H4116 as the roes H6643 upon H5921 the mountains; H2022

14 These H428 were of the sons H4480 H1121 of Gad, H1410 captains H7218 of the host: H6635 one H259 of the least H6996 was over a hundred, H3967 and the greatest H1419 over a thousand. H505
15 These H428 are they H1992 that H834 went over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 in the first H7223 month, H2320 when it H1931 had overflown H4390 H5921 all H3605 his banks; H1428 and they put to flight H1272 H853 all H3605 them of the valleys, H6010 both toward the east, H4217 and toward the west. H4628
16 And there came H935 of H4480 the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 and Judah H3063 to H5704 the hold H4679 unto David. H1732
17 And David H1732 went out H3318 to meet H6440 them , and answered H6030 and said H559 unto them, If H518 ye be come H935 peaceably H7965 unto H413 me to help H5826 me , mine heart H3824 shall be H1961 knit H3162 unto H5921 you : but if H518 ye be come to betray H7411 me to mine enemies, H6862 seeing there is no H3808 wrong H2555 in mine hands, H3709 the God H430 of our fathers H1 look H7200 thereon , and rebuke H3198 it .

Then David H1732 received H6901 them , and made H5414 them captains H7218 of the band. H1416
19 And there fell H5307 some of H4480 Manasseh H4519 to H5921 David, H1732 when he came H935 with H5973 the Philistines H6430 against H5921 Saul H7586 to battle: H4421 but they helped H5826 them not: H3808 for H3588 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 upon advisement H6098 sent him away, H7971 saying, H559 He will fall H5307 to H413 his master H113 Saul H7586 to the jeopardy of our heads. H7218

22 For H3588 at that time H6256 day H3117 by day H3117 there came H935 to H5921 David H1732 to help H5826 him, until H5704 it was a great H1419 host, H4264 like the host H4264 of God. H430
