6. Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam the Korhites,
7. and Joelah, and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8. And of the Gadite there have been separated unto David, to the fortress, to the wilderness, mighty of valour, men of the host for battle, setting in array target and buckler, and their faces the face of the lion, and as roes on the mountains for speed:
9. Ezer the head, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10. Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11. Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12. Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13. Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14. These [are] of the sons of Gad, heads of the host, one of a hundred [is] the least, and the greatest, of a thousand;
15. these [are] they who have passed over the Jordan in the first month, --and it is full over all its banks--and cause all [they of] the valley to flee to the east and to the west.
16. And there come of the sons of Benjamin and Judah unto the stronghold to David,
17. and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith to them, `If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine adversaries--without violence in my hands--the God of our fathers doth see and reprove.'
