And
David went
out to
meet them, and
answered and
said unto them, If ye be
come peaceably unto me to
help me, mine
heart shall be
knit unto you: but if ye be come to
betray me to mine
enemies, seeing there is
no wrong in mine
hands, the
God of our
fathers look thereon, and
rebuke it.

Then the
spirit came upon
Amasai, who was
chief of the
captains*, and he said, Thine are we,
David, and on thy side, thou
son of
Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and
peace be to thine
helpers; for thy
God helpeth thee. Then
David received them, and
made them
captains of the
band.

And there
fell some of
Manasseh to
David, when he
came with the
Philistines against
Saul to
battle: but they
helped them not: for the
lords of the
Philistines upon
advisement sent him away,
saying, He will
fall to his
master Saul to the jeopardy of our
heads.
