And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

又有便雅憫和猶大人到山寨大衛那裡。
大衛出去迎接他們、對他們說、你們若是和和平平地來幫助我、我心就與你們相契.你們若是將我這無罪的人賣在敵人手裡、願我們列祖的 神察看責罰。
那時 神的靈感動那三十個勇士的首領亞瑪撒、他就說、大衛阿、我們是歸於你的、耶西的兒子阿、我們是幫助你的.願你平平安安、願幫助你的、也都平安.因為你的 神幫助你。大衛就收留他們、立他們作軍長。
大衛從前與非利士人同去、要與掃羅爭戰.有些瑪拿西人來投奔大衛、他們卻沒有幫助非利士人.因為非利士人的首領、商議打發他們回去、說、恐怕大衛拿我們的首級、歸降他的主人掃羅。
大衛往洗革拉去的時候、有瑪拿西人的千夫長押拿、約撒拔、耶疊、米迦勒、約撒拔、以利戶、洗勒太都來投奔他。
