And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads. (12:19)

And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king. (12:31)
