1 Chronicles 12:8-15
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves some unto David into the hold of the wilderness, valiant men of war, and men of arms, and apt for battle, which could handle [a]spear and shield, and their faces were like the faces of [b]lions, and were like the roes in the mountains in swiftness,
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 [c]Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eight, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 These were the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least could resist an hundred, and the greatest a thousand.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the [d]first month, when he had filled over all his banks, and put to flight all them of the valley, toward the East and the West.
