- Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
- David went out to meet them, and said to them, "If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide."
- Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was the 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 him who helps you; Indeed, your God helps you!" Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
- From Manasseh also some defected to David when he was about to go to battle with the Philistines against Saul. But they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines after consultation sent him away, saying, "At the cost of our heads he may defect to his master Saul."
- As he went to Ziklag there defected to him from Manasseh: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands who belonged to 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。
