1 Chronicles 12:19

Some of the men of Manasseh deserted to David when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul . (Yet he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away , saying , At peril to our heads he will desert to his master Saul . )

Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)

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.
