1 Chronicles 12:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ They were crossing over the Jordan during the first month when it was overflowing its banks, and they put to flight everyone who was living in the valleys to the east and the west.

¹⁶ Some other Benjaminites and Judahites also went out to David in his stronghold. ¹⁷ David went out to meet them and he said to them, “If you have come to me in peace, to help me, then your heart will be one with my heart. But if you are here to betray me to my enemies even though my hands are innocent, may the God of our fathers see it and rebuke you.”
