1 Chronicles 12 1-1 Chronicles 12 40
Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;Elkanah, Isshiah Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.David went out to meet them, and answered them,“ If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with 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 see this and rebuke it.”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.Some of Manasseh also joined David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn’t help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying,“ He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.They helped David against the band of rovers; for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to Yahweh’s word.The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.Of the children of Levi: four thousand six hundred.Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty- two captains.Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.Of the half- tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.Of Naphtali: one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty- seven thousand.Of the Danites who could set the battle in array: twenty- eight thousand six hundred.Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array: forty thousand.On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half- tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle: one hundred twenty thousand.All these were men of war, who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.

1 Kings 4 1-1 Kings 4 34
King Solomon was king over all Israel.These were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king’s friend;Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for a month in the year.These are their names: Ben Hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;Ben Deker, in Makaz, in Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Beth Hanan;Ben Hesed, in Arubboth( Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him);Ben Abinadab, in all the height of Dor( he had Taphath, Solomon’s daughter, as wife);Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth Shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;Ben Geber, in Ramoth Gilead( the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, belonged to him; and the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars, belonged to him);Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;Ahimaaz, in Naphtali( he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife);Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer who was in the land.Judah and Israel were numerous as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, sixty measures of meal,ten head of fat cattle, twenty head of cattle out of the pastures, and one hundred sheep, in addition to deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.For he had dominion over all on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.Those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon’s table, every man in his month. They let nothing be lacking.They also brought Barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, each man according to his duty.God gave Solomon abundant wisdom and understanding, and very great understanding, even as the sand that is on the seashore.Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations all around.He spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs numbered one thousand five.He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows out of the wall; he also spoke of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.People of all nations came to hear the wisdom of Solomon, sent by all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

Then Judah came near to him, and said,“ Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.My lord asked his servants, saying,‘ Have you a father, or a brother?’We said to my lord,‘ We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’You said to your servants,‘ Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’We said to my lord,‘ The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’You said to your servants,‘ Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.Our father said,‘ Go again and buy us a little food.’We said,‘ We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’Your servant, my father, said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons.One went out from me, and I said,“ Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying,‘ If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?— lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
