1 Tawarikh 7:2

7:2 The sons of Tola:

1 Tawarikh 12:8

12:8 Some of the Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the desert. They were warriors who were trained for battle; they carried shields and spears. They were as fierce as lions and could run as quickly as gazelles across the hills. ⁶ 

1 Tawarikh 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ⁷  empowered ⁸  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ⁹ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ¹⁰  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ¹¹ 

May those who help you prosper! ¹² 

Indeed ¹³  your God helps you!”

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