 I Chronicles 12

Those who came to David in Hebron

23 Now this is the number of the chiefs armed for war, who came to David in Hebron, to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord:

24 Of the children of Judah, who bore shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.

25 Of the children of Simeon, men of valor for war, seven thousand one hundred.

26 Of the children of Levi, four thousand six hundred.

27 And Jehoiada was the chief of those of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred.

28 And Zadok, who was yet a young man, a mighty man of valor; and of his father's house, twenty-two chiefs.

29 And of the children of Benjamin, Saul's brothers, three thousand; for until then there were still many of them who supported the house of Saul. 

30 Of the children of Ephraim, twenty thousand eight hundred mighty men of valor, renowned men in their fathers' houses. 

31 And of the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, who were chosen by name to make David king. 

32 And of the children of Issachar, who had knowledge of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren kept the word. 

33 Of Zebulun, of those who went out to the army, arrayed for war with all weapons of war, fifty thousand; and those who were able to set the battle in array with a steadfast heart. 

34 And of Naphtali, a thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear. 

35 And of the Danites, arrayed for war, twenty-eight thousand six hundred. 

36 And of Asher, of those who went out to the army, to set the battle in array, forty thousand.

 37 And from beyond the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and of the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for war, an hundred and twenty thousand. 

38 All these men of war, set in array, came with a whole heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the remnant of Israel were of one heart to make David king. 

39 And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared provisions for them. 

40 And their neighbours also, even Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread for donkeys, and for camels, and for mules, and for oxen, and for flour, and cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel.
