19 [20] And there defected some of Menasheh to Dovid, when he went with the Pelishtim (Philistines) against Sha'ul for milchamah, but they helped them [Pelishtim] not; for the rulers of the Pelishtim after etzah (counsel) sent him [Dovid] away, saying, He [Dovid] will defect to his adon Sha'ul to the jeopardy of our heads.
20 [21] As he went to Tziklag, there defected to him those of Menasheh, Adnach, and Yozavad, and Yedia'el, and Micha'el, and Yozavad, and Elihu, and Tziltai, heads of the alafim that were of Menasheh.
21 [22] And they helped Dovid against the gedud, for they were all gibborei chayil, and were sarim in the tzava (army).
22 [23] For at that time day by day there came men to Dovid to help him, until it was a machaneh gadol, like the Machaneh Elohim.
23 [24] And these are the numbers of the leaders that were ready-armed for the army, and came to Dovid to Chevron, to turn over the Malchut Sha'ul to him, according to the word of Hashem.
24 [25] The Bnei Yehudah that bore shield and romach (spear) were six alafim and eight hundred, ready-armed for tzva.
25 [26] Of the Bnei Shim'on, gibborei chayil for tzava, shivat alafim and one hundred.
