16 Também alguns dos filhos de Benjamim e de Judá vieram a Davi à fortaleza.

17 E Davi saiu ao encontro deles, e lhes falou, dizendo: Se viestes a mim para paz e para me ajudar, meu coração será unido convosco; mas se é para me entregar a meus inimigos, mesmo sendo meus mãos sem crime, o Deus de nossos pais o veja, e o repreenda.

18 Então o Espírito revestiu a Amasai, chefe de trinta, e disse: Teus somos, ó Davi! E contigo estamos, ó filho de Jessé! Paz, paz seja contigo, e paz com os teus ajudadores; pois o teu Deus te ajuda.E Davi os recebeu, e os constituiu entre os capitães das tropas.

19 Também alguns de Manassés passaram a Davi, quando ele veio com os filisteus à batalha contra Saul, ainda que não os ajudaram; porque os líderes dos filisteus, [depois de terem feito] conselho, o despediram, dizendo: Com nossas cabeças ele passará a seu senhor Saul.

20 Quando, pois, ele veio a Ziclague, passaram-se a ele dos de Manassés: Adna, Jozabade, Jediaiel, Micael, Jozabade, Eliú, e Ziletai, chefes de milhares dos de Manassés.
