1 Chronicles 12:19-22 ▼

19 Men from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines to battle against Saul. However, he did not help the Philistines, for their lords took counsel and sent him home, saying, “At the cost of our heads he will desert to his master Saul.”

20 As he was returning to Ziklag, therefore, these deserted to him from Manasseh: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands of Manasseh.

21 They helped David by taking charge of his troops, for they were all warriors and became commanders of his army.

22 And from day to day men kept coming to David’s help until there was a vast encampment, like God’s own encampment.
