1 Chronicles 12:18

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace [be] to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

Ver. 18. Then the spirit came upon Amasai.] Heb., Clothed Amasai or Abishai, as some read it, together with whose words there went forth power, such as wrought in David's heart a firm belief of their fidelity: he was not thenceforth jealous of them at all. Pray for such a spirit upon our rulers and teachers.

Peace, peace be unto thee,] i.e., Pax omnimoda, Perfect peace, as Isaiah 26:3. This he spake by the motion of the spirit, met by a motion of the same spirit wrought in David's heart, causing him to rest in what Amasai said as undoubtedly true. After the same manner is saving faith wrought in God's elect. Eph 1:13 Let us be faithful in weakness, though but weak in faith.
