16 Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold.

17 And David went out¹ to meet them, and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no² wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.”

18 Then the Spirit¹ came upon ^aAmasai, chief of the captains, and he said:
“We are yours, O David;
We are on your side, O son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
And peace to your helpers!
For your God helps you.” So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.
