Mishmannah is mentioned in 1Ch.12.10 as one of the Gadite warriors who joined David at Ziklag when he was seeking refuge from King Saul. He was among the mighty men who came to support David during this challenging period in his life.
The Gadites were known for their bravery and skill in battle, and Mishmannah's presence among them suggests that he was a capable and loyal warrior. His decision to align himself with David demonstrates his belief in David's rightful claim to the throne and his willingness to stand with him in the face of opposition.

These men, drawn from various tribes and backgrounds, formed the core of David's military strength and played a crucial role in his eventual rise to power as king over all Israel.
