1 Chronicles 12:8-15

Expanded Bible

⁸ Part of the people of Gad joined David at his stronghold in the ·desert [wilderness]. They were ·brave warriors [^Lmighty men of valor] trained for war and ·skilled [expert] with shields and spears. They ·were as fierce as [^Lhad faces of] lions and as ·fast [swift; or nimble] as gazelles over the hills.

⁹ Ezer was the leader of Gad’s army, and Obadiah was second in command. Eliab was third, ¹⁰ Mishmannah was fourth, Jeremiah was fifth, ¹¹ Attai was sixth, Eliel was seventh, ¹² Johanan was eighth, Elzabad was ninth, ¹³ Jeremiah was tenth, and Macbannai was eleventh in command.

¹⁴ They were the ·commanders [leaders; captains] of the army from Gad. The least of these leaders ·was in charge of [or was a match for; could take on; ^Lwas equal to] a hundred soldiers, and the greatest ·was in charge of [or was a match for; could take on; ^Lwas equal to] a thousand. ¹⁵ They crossed the Jordan River and ·chased away [drove out; put to flight] the people living in the ·valleys [lowlands], to the east and to the west. This happened in the first month of the year when the Jordan ·floods the valley [was overflowing its banks].
