These [are] of the sons of Gad, heads of the host, one of a hundred [is] the least, and the greatest, of a thousand;
15
these [are] they who have passed over the Jordan in the first month, -- and it is full over all its banks -- and cause all [they of] the valley to flee to the east and to the west.

And there come of the sons of Benjamin and Judah unto the stronghold to David,
17
and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith to them, `If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine adversaries -- without violence in my hands -- the God of our fathers doth see and reprove.'

and they have helped with David over the troop, for mighty of valour [are] all of them, and they are captains in the host,
22
for at that time, day by day, they come in unto David to help him, till it is a great camp, like a camp of God.
23
And 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.
