1 Chronicles 12:18
New English Translation
18 But a spirit[a] empowered[b] Amasai, the leader of the group of warriors known as the Thirty, and he said:[c]
“We are yours, O David!
We support[d] you, O son of Jesse!
May you greatly prosper.[e]
May those who help you prosper.[f]
Indeed[g] your God helps you!”
So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.
