1 Tawarikh 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ¹²  empowered ¹³  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ¹⁴ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ¹⁵  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ¹⁶ 

May those who help you prosper! ¹⁷ 

Indeed ¹⁸  your God helps you!”

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

1 Tawarikh 21:3
