Svenska 1917
12 Och dessa voro de som kommo till David i Siklag, medan han ännu höll sig undan för Saul, Kis' son; de hörde till de hjältar som bistodo honom under kriget.
2 De voro väpnade med båge och skickliga i att, både med höger och med vänster hand, slunga stenar och avskjuta pilar från bågen. Av Sauls stamfränder, benjaminiterna, kommo:
3 Ahieser, den förnämste, och Joas, gibeatiten Hassemaas söner; Jesuel och Pelet, Asmavets söner; Beraka; anatotiten Jehu;
4 gibeoniten Jismaja, en av de trettio hjältarna, anförare för de trettio; Jeremia; Jahasiel; Johanan; gederatiten Josabad;
5 Eleusai; Jerimot; Bealja; Semarja; harufiten Sefatja;
6 koraiterna Elkana, Jissia, Asarel, Joeser och Jasobeam;
7 Joela och Sebadja, söner till Jeroham, av strövskaran.
8 Och av gaditerna avföllo några och gingo till David i bergfästet i öknen, tappra män, krigsmän skickliga att strida, rustade med sköld och spjut; de hade en uppsyn såsom lejon och voro snabba såsom gaseller på bergen:
9 Eser, den förnämste, Obadja, den andre, Eliab, den tredje,
10 Masmanna, den fjärde, Jeremia, den femte,
11 Attai, den sjätte, Eliel, den sjunde,
12 Johanan, den åttonde, Elsabad, den nionde,
13 Jeremia, den tionde, Makbannai, den elfte.
14 Dessa hörde till Gads barn och till de förnämsta i hären; den ringaste av dem var ensam så god som hundra, men den ypperste så god som tusen.
15 Dessa voro de som i första månaden gingo över Jordan, när den var full över alla sina bräddar, och som förjagade alla dem som bodde i dalarna, åt öster och åt väster.
16 Av Benjamins och Juda barn kommo några män till David ända till bergfästet.
17 Då gick David ut emot dem och tog till orda och sade till dem: »Om I kommen till mig i fredlig avsikt och viljen bistå mig, så är mitt hjärta redo till förening med eder; men om I kommen för att förråda mig åt mina ovänner, fastän ingen orätt är i mina händer, då må våra fäders Gud se därtill och straffa det.»
18 Men Amasai, den förnämste bland de trettio, hade blivit beklädd med andekraft, och han sade: »Dina äro vi, David, och med dig stå vi, du Isais son. Frid vare med dig, frid, och frid vare med dem som bistå dig ty din Gud har bistått dig!» Och David tog emot dem och gav dem plats bland de förnämsta i sin skara.
19 Från Manasse gingo några över till David, när han med filistéerna drog ut i strid mot Saul, dock fingo de icke bistå dessa; ty när filistéernas hövdingar hade rådplägat, skickade de bort honom, i det de sade: »Det gäller huvudet för oss, om han går över till sin herre Saul.
20 När han då drog till Siklag, gingo dessa från Manasse över till honom: Adna, Josabad, Jediael, Mikael, Josabad, Elihu och Silletai, huvudmän för de ätter som tillhörde Manasse.
21 Dessa bistodo David mot strövskaran, ty de voro allasammans tappra stridsmän och blevo hövitsmän i hären.
22 Dag efter dag kommo nämligen allt flera till David för att bistå honom, så att hans läger blev övermåttan stort.
23 Detta är de tal som angiva summorna av det väpnade krigsfolk som kom till David i Hebron, för att efter HERRENS befallning flytta Sauls konungamakt över på honom:
24 Juda barn, som buro sköld och spjut, sex tusen åtta hundra, väpnade till strid;
25 av Simeons barn tappra krigsmän, sju tusen ett hundra;
26 av Levi barn fyra tusen sex hundra;
27 därtill Jojada, fursten inom Arons släkt, och med honom tre tusen sju hundra;
28 så ock Sadok, en tapper yngling, med sin familj, tjugutvå hövitsmän;
29 av Benjamins barn, Sauls stamfränder, tre tusen (ty ännu vid den tiden höllo de flesta av dem troget med Sauls hus);
30 av Efraims barn tjugu tusen åtta hundra, tappra stridsmän, namnkunniga män i sina familjer;
31 av ena hälften av Manasse stam aderton tusen namngivna män, som kommo för att göra David till konung;
32 av Isaskars barn kommo män som väl förstodo tidstecknen och insågo vad Israel borde göra, två hundra huvudmän, därtill alla deras stamfränder under deras befäl;
33 av Sebulon stridbara män, rustade till krig med alla slags vapen, femtio tusen, som samlades endräktigt;
34 av Naftali ett tusen hövitsmän, och med dem trettiosju tusen, väpnade med sköld och spjut;
35 av daniterna krigsrustade män, tjuguåtta tusen sex hundra;
36 av Aser stridbara män, rustade till krig, fyrtio tusen;
37 och från andra sidan Jordan, av rubeniterna, gaditerna och andra hälften av Manasse stam, ett hundra tjugu tusen, väpnade med alla slags vapen som brukas vid krigföring.
38 Alla dessa krigsmän, ordnade till strid, kommo i sina hjärtans hängivenhet till Hebron för att göra David till konung över hela Israel. Också hela det övriga Israel var enigt i att göra David till konung.
39 Och de voro där hos David i tre dagar och åto och drucko, ty deras bröder hade försett dem med livsmedel.
40 De som bodde närmast dem, ända upp till Isaskar, Sebulon och Naftali, tillförde dem ock på åsnor, kameler, mulåsnor och oxar livsmedel i myckenhet till föda: mjöl, fikonkakor och russinkakor, vin och olja, fäkreatur och småboskap; ty glädje rådde i Israel.
1 Chronicles 12
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 12
David’s First Followers. 1 These were the men who came to David while he was at Ziklag, a fugitive from Saul, the son of Kish. They were the brave warriors who helped him in battle. 2 They were armed with bows, and they could sling stones or shoot arrows from a bow with their right hand or their left. They were kinsmen of Saul from Benjamin.
3 Ahiezer was their leader, and then Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite. There were Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite; 4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a brave warrior from among the Thirty and the leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite; 5 Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah; Isshiah; Azarel; Joezer; Jashobeam the Korahite; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
8 Some Gadites joined David in the wilderness. They were brave men, warriors ready for battle, able to handle the shield and the spear. Their faces were as fierce as the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles upon the mountains. 9 Ezer was the first; Obadiah was the second; Eliab was the third; 10 Mishmannah was the fourth; Jeremiah was the fifth; 11 Attai was the sixth; Eliel was the seventh; 12 Johanan was the eighth; Elzabad was the ninth; 13 Jeremiah the tenth; and Machbannai the eleventh. 14 These Gadites were captains of the army. The weakest of them was worth a hundred, the strongest was worth a thousand. 15 They were crossing over the Jordan during the first month when it was overflowing its banks, and they put to flight everyone who was living in the valleys to the east and the west.
16 Some other Benjaminites and Judahites also went out to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and he said to them, “If you have come to me in peace, to help me, then your heart will be one with my heart. But if you are here to betray me to my enemies even though my hands are innocent, may the God of our fathers see it and rebuke you.”
18 The Spirit then came upon Amasai, the leader of the captains, and he said,
“We are yours, David.
We will be with you, O son of Jesse.
May it go well with you,
and may it go well with those who help you,
for your God will help you.”
David received them and made them captains of his raiding parties.
19 Some men from Manasseh went over to David when he went to the Philistines to fight against Saul. He, however, did not help them because the lords of the Philistines had discussed it and sent him away saying, “It would cost us our heads if he were to defect to his master Saul.”
20 These were the men of Manasseh who went over to him in Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. They were captains of the thousands in Manasseh. 21 They helped David fight against the raiding parties, and they were brave warriors, all of them captains of the army.
22 From that time on, more men would arrive daily to help David until he had a large army, like an army of God.[a]
23 Assembly at Hebron. These are the numbers of the bands of those who came to David in Hebron ready for battle. They turned Saul’s kingdom over to him, according to the word of the Lord.
24 From Judah, there were six thousand, eight hundred men bearing shield and spear, ready for battle. 25 From Simeon there were seven thousand, one hundred brave warriors, ready for battle. 26 From Levi there were four thousand, six hundred men. 27 These included Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites, and with him there were three thousand, seven hundred men. 28 There was Zadok, a young man who was a brave warrior, with twenty-two captains from his father’s household. 29 From Benjamin, Saul’s kinsmen, there were three thousand men, most of whom had remained faithful to the house of Saul until then. 30 From Ephraim there were twenty thousand, eight hundred brave warriors who were famous in their ancestral clans. 31 There were eighteen thousand men from one-half of the tribe of Manasseh. They were designated by name to go and make David king. 32 From Issachar there were two hundred leaders with their brethren under them. They understood well the time and what Israel should do.[b] 33 From Zebulun there were fifty thousand experienced fighters ready to go into battle. They had every different type of weapon, and they were of undivided loyalty. 34 From Naphtali there were one thousand captains along with thirty-seven thousand men armed with shield and spear. 35 From Dan there were twenty-eight thousand, six hundred men, ready for battle. 36 From Asher there were forty thousand experienced fighters ready for battle. 37 From the eastern side of the Jordan, there were one hundred and twenty thousand men armed with every different type of weapon from Reuben, Gad, and one-half of the tribe of Manasseh.
38 All of these were well-trained fighting men. They came to Hebron for they wholeheartedly wanted to make David king over all of Israel. The rest of Israel was in agreement to make David king.[c] 39 They spent three days eating and drinking with David (for their brethren had provided provisions for them). 40 Their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali brought food on their donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen: plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep, for joy had spread throughout Israel.

1 Chronicles 12
21st Century King James Version
12 Now these are they that came to David at Ziklag, while he yet kept himself hidden because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul’s brethren of Benjamin.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite,
4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into his hideout in the wilderness men of might and men of war fit for the battle, who could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains:
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host; one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 These are the ones who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all those of the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
16 And there came some of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hideout unto David.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, “If ye have come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye have come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon and rebuke it.”
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, “Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse. Peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee.” Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 And there fell away 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 return to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
20 As he went to Ziklag there fell to him of Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers; for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.
22 For at that time day by day they came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the armed groups ready for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.
24 The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready, armed for the war.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
28 and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and from his father’s house twenty and two captains.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand; for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the watch of the house of Saul.
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 And of the halftribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were expressed by name to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar, who were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command.
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war with all instruments of war, fifty thousand who could keep rank; they were not of double heart.
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear, thirty and seven thousand.
35 And of the Danites, expert in war, twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
37 And on the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites and the Gadites, and of the halftribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.
38 All these men of war, who could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Moreover those who were nigh to them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly; for there was joy in Israel.
