1 DIBRE haYAMIM - 1 CHRONICLES 12:17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If you come in shalom to me to help {aw-zar'} me, my lev shall be knit {yakh'-ad' alike} to you: but if you be come to betray me to my enemies, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of our ahvot look thereon, and rebuke it.
1 DIBRE haYAMIM - 1 CHRONICLES 12:18 Then the ruach came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Your are we, David, and on your side, you son of Yishai-Jesse: shalom, shalom be to you, and shalom be to your helpers {aw-zar'}; for YAHWEH your ABBA helps {aw-zar'} you. Then David received {kaw-bal'} them, and made them captains of the band.
*This is one of the biggest problem with Yisrael - Not able to RECEIVE ONE ANOTHER
The Shlichim Shaul Recommends Phebe To The Assembly At Rome, And Greets Several Friends as Well
ROMIYAH - ROMANS 16:1 I commend {haw-lal'} to you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the assembly which is at Cenchrea:
{haw-lal'} to boast, make a boast, to be praised, be made praiseworthy, be commended, be worthy of praise
ROMIYAH - ROMANS 16:2 That you receive her in YAHWEH, as becomes Yisraelite kidushim, and that you assist her in whatsoever business she has need of you: for she has been a succorer-{ay'-zer} of many, and of myself also.

The Sin And Folly Of Seeking Help From Mitzrayim
YESHAYAH - ISAIAH 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Mitzrayim for help {ez-raw' succor, assistance}; and stay-rely on horses, and trust {baw-takh'} in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Kadosh-One of Yisrael, neither seek YAHWEH!
YESHAYAH - ISAIAH 31:2 Yet HE also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back HIS words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help {ez-raw'} of them that work iniquity.
The Character of YAHWEH is a HELPER then What Does That Say To Us
TEHILLIM - PSALMS 30:10 Hear, O YAHWEH, and have mercy upon me: YAHWEH, be my
Helper {aw-zar' assist, aid}
TEHILLIM - PSALMS 54:4 Behold, YAHWEH is my Helper {aw-zar}: Sovereign YAHWEH is with them that uphold my {neh'-fesh}
TEHILLIM - PSALMS 72:12 For YAHWEH shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.
No One Wants To Be the Helper to One That is His Equal
SIRACH 13:22 If a rich man slips, his helpers are many; he speaks unseemly words, and they justify him. If a humble man slips, they even reproach him; he speaks sensibly, and receives no attention.
SIRACH 13:23 When the rich man speaks all are silent, and they extol to the clouds what he says. When the poor man speaks they say, "Who is this fellow?" And should he stumble, they even push him down.
SIRACH 13:24 Riches are good if they are free from sin, and poverty is evil in the opinion of the wicked.
SIRACH 13:25 A man's heart changes his countenance, either for good or for evil.
SIRACH 13:26 The mark of a happy heart is a cheerful face, but to devise proverbs requires painful thinking.
SIRACH 36:24 He who acquires a wife gets his best possession, a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.
There Have Been Those That Have Been Esteemed as Helpers, But Where Are They NOW?
Wicked Reign Of Yeroboam
2 MELAKIM - 2 KINGS 14:26 For YAHWEH saw the affliction {on-ee' affliction, poverty, misery} of Yisrael, that it was very bitter {maw-raw' grievously}: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Yisrael.
2 MELAKIM - 2 KINGS 14:27 And YAHWEH said not that he would blot out the name of Yisrael from under heaven: but he saved {yaw-shah'} them by the hand of Yeroboam the son of Yoash.
IBRIM - HEBREWS 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for YAHWEH Himself has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
IBRIM - HEBREWS 13:6 So that we may boldly say, YAHWEH is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.
