Starting in the 12th chapter of 1 Chronicles, we are told of a multitude of warriors who joined David. These warriors were very skilled with a variety of weapons. Among these were tribes who were trained for war, had the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles.
These warriors could travel across any terrain, from mountains to even the overflowing banks of the Jordan River.
In verse 18, there is the following said to David, "We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse! Success, success to you, and success to those who help you, for your God will help you." These are powerful words that should be memorized, for if God is with you, success you will find.
David's army grew and grew. In chapter 13, David consulted with all of the captains and leaders, urging them to spread the word to their fellow countrymen about what the Lord our God has done. Then, he ordered them to bring the Lord's Ark back with them. They celebrated their victory.
Throughout the next few chapters, into chapter 15, they establish a holy place for the Ark and have appointed certain people to protect it.
