From the Gadites, mighty men of valor separated themselves to David in the stronghold in the wilderness, men of war who had gone out for military duty, who could [a]handle large shield and spear, and whose faces were like the faces of lions, and (A)they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains.
Ezer was the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14 These of the sons of Gad were chiefs of the army; (B)he who was least was equal to one hundred and the greatest to one thousand. 15 (C)These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks and they made all those in the valleys flee, both to the east and to the west.
