19. And some from Menashsheh went over to Dawiḏ when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Sha’ul. But they did not help them, for the princes of the Philistines took advice and sent him away, saying, “He might go over to his master Sha’ul with our heads!”
20. When he went to Tsiqlag̅, those of Menashsheh who went over to him were Aḏnah, and Yozaḇaḏ, and Yeḏiya’ĕl, and Miḵa’ĕl, and Yozaḇaḏ, and Elihu, and Tsillethai, chiefs of the thousands who were from Menashsheh.
21. And they helped Dawiḏ against the raiding bands, for they were all mighty brave men, and they were commanders in the army.
22. For at that time they came to Dawiḏ day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like an army of Elohim.
23. And these were the numbers of the chiefs of those that were armed for battle, and came to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron to turn over the reign of Sha’ul to him, according to the word of יהוה:
24. Of the children of Yehuḏah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred armed for battle;
25. of the children of Shim‛on, mighty brave men for the army, seven thousand one hundred;
26. of the children of Lĕwi four thousand six hundred;
