1 Chronicles 12:20 -
Although those of Manasseh who wished to ally themselves with David did not—most providentially for David and his Ziklag people—have the opportunity of aiding him when, on the eve of Gilboa, he was about to aid Achish the prince of the Philistines against the Israelites and Saul, yet their help must have come in useful when, on his return "to Ziklag on the third day," he found what the Amalekites had done, and pursued them ( 1 Samuel 30:1-6 , 1 Samuel 30:11-25 ). Seven is the number also of Eastern Manasseh mentioned in 1 Chronicles 5:24 . Nothing is now said of the men belonging to them joining with them. Jozabad . One manuscript quoted by Kennicott has for this name on its first occurrence Jechabar. It is scarcely likely that the same name should appear twice in this short list, without some qualifying mark being put to one of the two. Nothing else is known of these seven cap-talus of the thousands of Manasseh.
