Manasseh » Tribe of » Malcontents of, join david
Some men from Manasseh joined David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (But in the end they did not help the Philistines because, after taking counsel, the Philistine lords sent David away, saying: "It would be disastrous for us if he deserts to his master Saul.")
From the half tribe of Manasseh there were 18,000 who had been designated by name to come and make David king.
