1 Chronicles 12:36

Asher

34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.

35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.

From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.

37 And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.

38 All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
