16 There came of the people of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David. 17 David went out to meet them, and answered them, |If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.| 18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the Thirty, and he said, |We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.| Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. 1 Chronicles 12:16-18, New Heart English Bible.
