English Standard Version

The Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse!”

1 Chronicles 12:18

No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:3

1 Chronicles 12 (English Standard Version)

15 These are the men who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks, and put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 And some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in friendship to help me, my heart will be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, although there is no wrong in my hands, then may the God of our fathers see and rebuke you.”
18 Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said,
“We are yours, O David,
and with you, O son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
and peace to your helpers!
For your God helps you.”
Then David received them and made them officers of his troops.
19 Some of the men of Manasseh deserted to David when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul. (Yet he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away, saying, “At peril to our heads he will desert to his master Saul.”)
20 As he went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh deserted to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
21 They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were commanders in the army.

1 Corinthians 12 (English Standard Version)

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.
3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;
6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.

The Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty. We are yours, David, and we are with you, son of Jesse!

1 Chronicles 12:18

No one can say, “Jesus is Lord!” except by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:3

1 Chronicles 12 (Free Bible Version)

15 These were ones who crossed the Jordan River in the first month of the year when it overflows its banks. They chased out all the people living in the valley, both to the east and to the west.
16 Some others from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah also came to join David at the stronghold.
17 David went out to meet them and told them, “If you've come in peace to help me, we can be friends. But if you've come to betray me to my enemies, even though I've done no wrong, then may the God of our fathers see what you're doing and condemn you.”
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty. “We are yours, David, and we are with you, son of Jesse! May peace, prosperity, and success be yours and those who help you, for God is the one who is helping you.” So David allowed them to join him, and put them in charge of his bands of raiders.
19 Others came over to David's side from the tribe of Manasseh and joined him when he went with Philistines to attack Saul. However, the Philistine rulers eventually decided to send them away, saying to themselves, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts us and goes over to his master Saul.”
20 The following is a list of the men from Manasseh who went over to David's side as he returned to Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
21 They helped David against raiders for they were all strong and experienced warriors and commanders in the army.

1 Corinthians 12 (Free Bible Version)

1 Now about “spiritual gifts.” My brothers and sisters, I want to explain this to you.
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were deceived, being led astray by worshiping idols who couldn't even speak.
3 Let me make it clear to you: no one who speaks in the Spirit of God says, “Curse Jesus!” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord!” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they come from the same Spirit.
5 There are different kinds of ministries, but they come from the same Lord.
6 There are different ways of working, but they come from the same God, who is at work in all of them.
