H3107I
One of two men called Jozabad who, along with other Manassite leaders, joined David at Ziklag when he was returning to fight against the Philistines.
Jozabad was one of the Manassite commanders who defected to David at Ziklag when David was returning from the Philistines before the battle of Jezreel (1 Chronicles 12:20). He is listed among the men of Manasseh who switched their allegiance from Saul to David during that pivotal transition. This particular Jozabad appears only in this military defection account, though the name was common and several other men named Jozabad appear elsewhere in the biblical record.
