When David reached Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, who were his friends, saying,“ Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the Lord’s enemies.”

David reached Ziklag. He sent some of the goods to the elders of Judah. They were his friends. He said,“ Here’s a gift for you. It’s part of the things we took from the Lord’ s enemies.”

When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying,“ Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord.”

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying,“ Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”

Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoils to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying,“ Behold, a gift for you from the spoils of the enemies of the Lord:

Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying,“ Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord”—

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying,“ Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the Lord’s enemies.”

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah,[ even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah who were his friends, saying,“ Here’s a gift for you from the looting of the LORD’s enemies!”

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying,“ Behold, a present for you from the plunder of Yahweh’s enemies.”

And here is a present that I, your servant, have brought to you and your young men.

But give great joy to those who came to my defense. Let them continually say,“ Great is the Lord, who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”

Please take this gift I have brought you, for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.” And because Jacob insisted, Esau finally accepted the gift.

So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.

Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!The first to speak in court sounds right— until the cross examination begins.Flipping a coin can end arguments; it settles disputes between powerful opponents.An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction.The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.The poor plead for mercy; the rich answer with insults.There are“ friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

When you ascended to the heights, you led a crowd of captives. You received gifts from the people, even from those who rebelled against you. Now the Lord God will live among us there.

Then Naaman and his entire party went back to find the man of God. They stood before him, and Naaman said,“ Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”

But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.

The following men joined David at Ziklag while he was hiding from Saul son of Kish. They were among the warriors who fought beside David in battle.All of them were expert archers, and they could shoot arrows or sling stones with their left hand as well as their right. They were all relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.Their leader was Ahiezer son of Shemaah from Gibeah; his brother Joash was second in command. These were the other warriors: Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu from Anathoth;Ishmaiah from Gibeon, a famous warrior and leader among the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah;Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph;Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham from Gedor.Some brave and experienced warriors from the tribe of Gad also defected to David while he was at the stronghold in the wilderness.

Jeremiah was fifth.Attai was sixth. Eliel was seventh.Johanan was eighth. Elzabad was ninth.Jeremiah was tenth. Macbannai was eleventh.These warriors from Gad were army commanders.
