Dirty Dozen from the Old Testament poll, pick 12

Let's say you're God, and you assign your son, Jesus, to parachute behind Satan's lines with 12 disreputable people from the bible that are expendable. This version is Old Testament. New Testament is coming up. Pick your dirty dozen, and if you want, reply as to who would be your Richard Jaeckel character who first calls them the dirty dozen, and maybe your Robert Ryan character, too.
