The Message

Just then Amasai chief of the Thirty, moved by God’s Spirit, said, We’re on your side, O David, We’re committed, O son of Jesse; All is well, yes, all is well with you, And all’s well with whoever helps you. Yes, for your God has helped and does help you. So David took them on and assigned them a place under the chiefs of the raiders.
