Some Gadites also joined David's troops when he was at the desert fort. They were valiant fighting men and experts with shield and spear. They were as fierce-looking as lions and as quick as mountain deer. (1 Chronicles 12, 9)
Those men from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the fort. (1 Chronicles 12, 17)
David went to meet them and said, "If you come to me as friends, to give me help, then I am ready to join you. But if it is to betray me to my enemies, when I have done no wrong, then may the God of our ancestors see and punish you." (1 Chronicles 12, 18)
Then God's spirit took control of one of them, Amasai, leader of The Thirty, and he called out: "Yours we are, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Peace to you, peace to him that helps you, for God is on your side." David welcomed them and made them officers in his army. (1 Chronicles 12, 19)
Some people from the tribe of Manasseh went over to David's side as he was setting out with the Philistines to fight Saul.

They were reinforcements for David and his troops, since they were all outstanding soldiers and became officers in the army. (1 Chronicles 12, 22)
