1 Chronicles 12:16-18
Modern English Version
16 Some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold of David. 17 So David went out before them and said to them, “If you have come in peace to help me, then I will have a heart united with yours, but if to betray me to my adversaries, when there is no violence in my hand, may the God of our fathers see, and may He decide between us.”
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai the captain of the officers, and he said,
“We are for you, David,
and with you, son of Jesse.
Peace, peace to you,
and peace to the one helping you,
for your God helps you.”
So David welcomed them and appointed them as captains of the troops.
