STEPBible TIPNR
Machbannai was a Gadite warrior who joined David at Ziklag, along with several other warriors from the tribe of Gad (1Ch 12:8-13). The Gadites are described as brave warriors, trained for battle and skilled with the shield and spear (1Ch 12:8). Machbannai and his fellow Gadites defected to David during the time when he was fleeing from King Saul and seeking refuge in the wilderness (1Sa 22:1-2). The support of these warriors was crucial for David as he navigated the challenges of this period and eventually established his kingdom. Machbannai's presence among David's supporters demonstrates the loyalty and military prowess that David inspired among his followers.
