14:15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the trees, then attack. ¹  For at that moment the Lord is going before you to strike down the army ²  of the Philistines.”

1 Chronicles 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ³  empowered ⁴  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ⁵ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ⁶  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ⁷ 

May those who help you prosper! ⁸ 

Indeed ⁹  your God helps you!”

So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.

[14:15]  ¹ tn Heb “go out in battle.”

[14:15]  ² tn Heb “camp.”

[12:18]  ³ tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ⁵ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ⁹ tn Or “for.”
