But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai. Peace, Peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Yesterday thou camest, and to-day shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? But I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee. And the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.
