But a spirit<n id="1" /> empowered<n id="2" /> Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said:<n id="3" />p> <p class="bodytext">&#8220;We are yours, O David!p> <p class="bodytext">We support<n id="4" /> you, O son of Jesse!p> <p class="bodytext">May you greatly prosper!<n id="5" />p> <p class="bodytext">May those who help you prosper!<n id="6" />p> <p class="bodytext">Indeed<n id="7" /> your God helps you!&#8221;p> <p class="bodytext">So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.p>

David went out to meet them and said,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If you come to me in peace and want to help me, then I will make an alliance with you.<n id="2" /> But if you come to betray me to my enemies when I have not harmed you,<n id="3" /> may the God of our ancestors<n id="4" /> take notice and judge!&#8221;

he sent his son Hadoram<n id="1" /> to King David to extend his best wishes<n id="2" /> and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Tou had been at war with Hadadezer.<n id="3" /> He also sent various items made of gold, silver, and bronze.<n id="4" />

Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man.<n id="1" /> I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side.<n id="2" /> Indeed, Solomon<n id="3" /> will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign.<n id="4" />
