1 Chronicles 12:16 BBE

¹⁴  These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.

¹⁵  It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.

¹⁶  And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.

¹⁷  And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.

¹⁸  Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.
