David went out to meet them, and said to them, “If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide.”

18 N a kua tau te wairua ki a Amahai, ko ia nei te rangatira o te toru tekau, a ka ki ia, Kei a koe matou, e Rawiri, hei hoa mou, e te tama a Hehe, Kia mau, kia mau te rongo ki a koe; kia mau ano ki ou whakauru; ko tou Atua hoki hei whakauru mou. Na kua riro ratou i a Rawiri, a meinga ana ratou e ia hei rangatira rangapu.

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was the chief of the thirty, and he said, “ We are yours, O David, And with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to him who helps you; Indeed, your God helps you!” Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
