1 Chronicles 12:23–40

²³And these are the numbers of the head, of the armed men of the host; they have come in unto David to Hebron to turn round the kingdom of Saul unto him, according to the mouth of Jehovah. ²⁴The sons of Judah, bearing target and spear, are six thousand and eight hundred, armed ones of the host. ²⁵Of the sons of Simeon, mighty ones of valour for the host, are seven thousand and a hundred. ²⁶Of the sons of Levi are four thousand and six hundred; ²⁷and Jehoiada is the leader of the Aaronite, and with him are three thousand and seven hundred, ²⁸and Zadok, a young man, mighty of valour, and of the house of his father are twenty and two heads. ²⁹And of the sons of Benjamin, brethren of Saul, are three thousand, and hitherto their greater part are keeping the charge of the house of Saul. ³⁰And of the sons of Ephraim are twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty of valour, men of name, according to the house of their fathers. ³¹And of the half of the tribe of Manasseh are eighteen thousand, who have been defined by name, to come in to cause David to reign. ³²And of the sons of Issachar, having understanding for the times, to know what Israel should do; their heads are two hundred, and all their brethren are at their command. ³³Of Zebulun, going forth to the host, arranging battle with all instruments of battle, are fifty thousand, and keeping rank without a double heart. ³⁴And of Naphtali, a thousand heads, and with them, with target and spear, are thirty and seven thousand. ³⁵And of the Danite, arranging battle, are twenty and eight thousand and six hundred. ³⁶And of Asher, going forth to the host, to arrange battle, are forty thousand. ³⁷And from beyond the Jordan, of the Reubenite, and of the Gadite, and of the half of the tribe of Manasseh, with all instruments of the host for battle, are a hundred and twenty thousand. ³⁸All these are men of war, keeping rank—with a perfect heart they have come to Hebron, to cause David to reign over all Israel, and also all the rest of Israel are of one heart, to cause David to reign, ³⁹and they are there, with David, three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren have prepared for them. ⁴⁰And also those near unto them, unto Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, are bringing in bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen—food of fine flour, fig-cakes and grape-cakes, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep, in abundance, for joy is in Israel.
