1 Chronicles 12

¹Now these are they that came to David to Siceleg, while he yet fled from Saul the son of Cia, and they were most valiant and excellent warriors,

²Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin.

³The chief was Ahiezer, and Joas, the sons of Samaa of Gabaath, and Jaziel, and Phallet the sons of Azmoth, and Beracha, and Jehu an Anathothite.

⁴And Samaias of Gabaon, the stoutest amongst the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremias, and Jeheziel, and Johanan, and Jezabad of Gaderoth;

⁵And Eluzai, and Jerimuth, and Baalia, and Samaria, and Saphatia the Haruphite;

⁶Elcana, and Jesia, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jesbaam of Carehim:

⁷And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

⁸From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roebucks on the mountains.

⁹Ezer the chief, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,

¹⁰Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth.

¹¹Ethi the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

¹²Johanan the eighth, Elzebad the ninth,

¹³Jerenias the tenth, Machbani the eleventh,

¹⁴These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over a thousand.
