18. Formal Translation And a spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said, “To you, David, and with you, son of Jesse—peace! Peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your help is from your God {Eloheikha, Source of Strength}.” Then David received them and appointed them among the leaders of the band. |
18. Dynamic Translation Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, leader of the Thirty, and he declared, “We are yours, David, and we stand with you, son of Jesse! Peace to you, and peace to those who assist you, because your God {Eloheikha, Divine Supporter} helps you.” So David welcomed them and made them officers in his troops. |
