1 Chronicles 7:4

7:4 According to the genealogical records of their families, they had 36,000 warriors available for battle, for they had numerous wives and sons. ¹ 

1 Chronicles 12:21

12:21 They helped David fight against raiding bands, for all of them were warriors and leaders in the army.

1 Chronicles 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ²  empowered ³  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ⁴ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ⁵  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ⁶ 

May those who help you prosper! ⁷ 

Indeed ⁸  your God helps you!”

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

[7:4]  ¹ tn Heb “and unto them by their generations to the house of their fathers [were] troops of war of battle, 36,000, for they had many wives and sons.”

[12:18]  ² tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ³ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ⁴ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ⁸ tn Or “for.”
