1 Chronicles 12:38-40

38 omnes isti viri bellatores et expediti ad pugnandum corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron ut constituerent regem David super universum Israhel sed et omnes reliqui ex Israhel uno corde erant ut rex fieret David

39 fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes praeparaverunt enim eis fratres sui

40 sed et qui iuxta eos erant usque ad Isachar et Zabulon et Nepthalim adferebant panes in asinis et camelis et mulis et bubus ad vescendum farinam palatas uvam passam vinum oleum boves arietes ad omnem copiam gaudium quippe erat in Israhel
