Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.

David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”

Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they didn’t help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
20 Pa inge inen mwet mweun lun Manasseh su welulang David ke pacl el folok ah: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, ac Zillethai. Kais sie mwet inge elos tuh captain fin mwet mweun sie tausin in acn Manasseh.
