Poole: 1Ch 12:18 - The Spirit came upon Amasai // Thy God helpeth thee // Captains of the band

The Spirit came upon Amasai not only saving graces, but other heroical and generous motions, are ascribed to God’ s Spirit, which here stirred up in him a more than ordinary greatness and presentness of mind and resolution.

Thy God helpeth thee we have observed God’ s singular and gracious care of thee, and kindness to thee, and if we should oppose thee, we should be fighters against God and his word and providence.

Captains of the band i. e. of those forces which they brought with them. Or, he put them among the heads or officers of his band , i.e. he gave them commands, either now in his small army, each according to his quality; or afterwards, when he was advanced to the kingdom; for it is not here expressed when he did this.

Haydock: 1Ch 12:18 - Spirit // Band

Band, or "of a company." (Haydock)

Then the spirit came upon Amasai,.... Or "clothed" ^f him; a spirit of fortitude, as the Targum, of strength, courage, and presence of mind, with which he was endowed, covered, and clothed as with a garment; this was a sister's son of David's, see 2Sa 17:25.

who was chief of the captains; of them that came at this time with him to David; he was afterwards Absalom's general, and designed to be David's, but was murdered by Joab:

and he said, thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse; which being spoken in this short and concise manner, as the supplement shows, denotes the vehemency with which he spake, and is expressive of their cordial fidelity to him, and their resolution to abide by him at all events:

peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; wishing all prosperity, temporal and spiritual, to him and all his confederates and auxiliaries, among whom they reckoned themselves:

for thy God helpeth thee; which they perceived by the remarkable deliverances of him out of the hand of Saul, when in imminent danger; the Targum is,"for the Word of the Lord is for thy help:"

then David received them; into the hold, and admitted them as his friends:

and made them the captains of the band; they brought with them; or in later times, when he came to the throne.
