1 Cronica 12
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang mga kaibigan ni David sa Siclag.
12 Ang mga ito nga ang nagsiparoon kay David (A)sa Siclag, samantalang siya'y nagkukubli pa dahil kay Saul na anak ni Cis: at sila'y nasa mga makapangyarihang lalake, na kaniyang mga katulong sa pakikipagdigma.
2 Sila'y nasasakbatan ng mga busog, at kanilang ginagamit kapuwa ang kanang kamay at kaliwa sa pagpapahilagpos ng mga bato, at sa pagpapahilagpos ng mga pana mula sa busog; sila'y sa mga kapatid ni Saul sa Benjamin.
3 Ang pinuno ay si Ahiezer, saka si Joas, na mga anak ni Semaa na Gabaathita; at si Jeziel, at si Pheleth, na mga anak ni Azmaveth; at si Beraca, at si Jehu na Anathothita;
4 At si Ismaias na Gabaonita, na makapangyarihang lalake sa tatlongpu, at pinuno ng tatlongpu; at si Jeremias, at si Jahaziel, at si Joanan, at si Jozabad na Gederathita;
5 Si Eluzai, at si Jeremoth, at si Bealias, at si Semarias, at si Sephatias na Haruphita;
6 Si Elcana, at si Isias, at si Azareel, at si Joezer, at si Jasobam, na mga Corita:
7 At si Joela, at si Zebadias, na mga anak ni Jeroham na taga Gedor.
Ang mga Gadita na nagsisunod kay David.
8 At sa mga Gadita ay nagsihiwalay na nagsilakip kay David sa katibayan sa ilang, ang mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang, na mga lalaking bihasa sa pakikidigma, na makahahawak ng kalasag at sibat; na ang mga mukha nila ay gaya ng mga mukha ng mga leon, at sila'y maliliksing gaya ng mga usa sa mga bundok;
9 Si Eser ang pinuno, si Obadias ang ikalawa, si Eliab ang ikatlo;
10 Si Mismana ang ikaapat, si Jeremias ang ikalima;
11 Si Attai ang ikaanim, si Eliel ang ikapito;
12 Si Johanan ang ikawalo, si Elzabad ang ikasiyam;
13 Si Jeremias ang ikasangpu, si Machbani ang ikalabingisa.
14 Ang mga ito sa mga anak ni Gad ay mga pinunong kawal ng hukbo; ang pinakamaliit ay katimbang ng isang daan, at ang pinakamalaki ay ng isang libo.
15 Ang mga ito ang nagsitawid sa Jordan sa unang buwan, nang apawan ang lahat niyang mga pangpang; at kanilang pinatakas ang lahat na sa mga libis, ang sa dakong silanganan, at gayon din ang sa dakong kalunuran.
16 At nagsiparoon ang ilan sa mga anak ni Benjamin at ni Juda sa katibayan kay David.
17 At si David ay lumabas na sinalubong sila, at sumagot at nagsabi sa kanila, Kung kayo'y nagsisiparitong payapa sa akin upang tulungan ako, ang aking puso ay malalakip sa inyo: nguni't kung upang pagliluhan ako sa aking mga kaaway, dangang walang kasamaan sa aking mga kamay, masdan ng Dios ng ating mga magulang, at sawayin.
18 Nang magkagayo'y ang Espiritu ay dumating kay (B)Amasai, na siyang pinuno ng tatlongpu, at sinabi niya, Iyo kami, David, at para sa iyo, ikaw anak ni Isai: kapayapaan, kapayapaan ang sumaiyo, at kapayapaan ang sumaiyong mga katulong; sapagka't tinutulungan ka ng iyong Dios. Nang magkagayo'y tinanggap ni David sila, at ginawa silang mga pinunong kawal ng pulutong.
19 Sa Manases naman ay nagsihilig ang ilan kay David, (C)nang siya'y pumaroong kasama ng mga Filisteo laban kay Saul upang bumaka: nguni't hindi nila tinulungan sila: sapagka't pinapagpaalam siya ng mga panginoon ng mga Filisteo sa payo na sinasabi, Siya'y mahihilig sa kaniyang panginoong kay Saul sa pamumuhunan ng ating mga ulo.
20 Sa pagparoon niya sa Siclag, ay nagsihilig sa kaniya mula sa Manases, si Adnas, at si Jozabad, at si Jediaiel, at si Michael, at si Jozabad at si Eliu, at si Sillethai, na mga pinunong kawal ng mga lilibuhin na nasa Manases.
21 At kanilang tinulungan si David laban sa pulutong (D)ng mga magnanakaw: sapagka't silang lahat ay mga makapangyarihang lalake na may tapang, at mga pinunong kawal sa hukbo.
22 Sapagka't araw-araw ay may naparoon kay David upang tumulong sa kaniya, hanggang sa naging malaking hukbo, na gaya ng hukbo ng Dios.
Ang ibang mga kaibigan ni David.
23 At ito ang bilang ng mga ulo nila na mga may sandata na handa sa pakikidigma, na (E)nagsiparoon kay David sa Hebron, upang ibalik ang kaharian ni Saul sa kaniya, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon.
24 Ang mga anak ni Juda na nagsisihawak ng kalasag at sibat ay anim na libo at walong daan, na may mga sandata sa pakikipagdigma.
25 Sa mga anak ni Simeon, na mga makapangyarihang lalake na may tapang na handa sa pakikipagdigma, pitong libo at isang daan.
26 Sa mga anak ni Levi ay apat na libo at anim na raan.
27 At si Joiada ang tagapamatnugot ng sangbahayan ni Aaron, at kasama niya'y tatlong libo at pitong daan;
28 At si Sadoc, na isang binatang makapangyarihan na may tapang, at sa sangbahayan ng kaniyang magulang ay dalawang pu at dalawang pinunong kawal.
29 At sa mga anak ni Benjamin, na mga kapatid ni Saul, tatlong libo: sapagka't ang kalakhang bahagi sa kanila ay nagsisipagingat ng kanilang pakikipagkasundo sa sangbahayan ni Saul.
30 At sa mga anak ni Ephraim, dalawang pung libo at walong daan, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking may tapang, mga bantog na lalake sa mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang.
31 At sa kalahating lipi ng Manases ay labing walong libo, na mga nasaysay sa pamamagitan ng pangalan, upang magsiparoon at gawing hari si David.
32 At sa mga anak ni Issachar, na mga lalaking maalam ng mga panahon, upang matalastas kung ano ang marapat gawin ng Israel; ang mga pinuno sa kanila ay dalawang daan; at ang lahat nilang kapatid ay nasa kanilang utos.
33 Sa Zabulon, yaong mga makalalabas sa hukbo, na makahahanay sa pagbabaka na may sarisaring kasangkapang pangdigma, ay limangpung libo; at makapagaayos sa hanay sa pagbabaka, at hindi nagaalinlangan ang loob.
34 At sa Nephtali ay isang libong pinunong kawal, at may kasama silang mga may kalasag at sibat na tatlong pu't pitong libo.
35 At sa mga Danita na makahahanay sa pagbabaka ay dalawangpu't walong libo at anim na raan.
36 At sa Aser, yaong mga makalalabas sa hukbo, na makahahanay sa pagbabaka, apat na pung libo.
37 At sa kabilang dako ng Jordan, sa mga Rubenita, at sa mga Gadita, at sa kalahating lipi ni Manases, na may sarisaring kasangkapang pangdigma sa pakikipagbaka, isang daan at dalawangpung libo.
Ang mga tumulong kay David upang maging hari.
38 Lahat ng mga ito na mga lalaking mangdidigma na makahahanay sa pagbabaka, ay nagsiparoong may sakdal na puso sa Hebron, upang gawing hari si David sa buong Israel: at ang lahat na nangalabi sa Israel ay nagkaisang loob din naman upang gawing hari si David.
39 At sila'y dumoong kasama ni David na tatlong araw, na kumain at uminom: sapagka't ipinaghanda sila ng kanilang mga kapatid.
40 Bukod dito'y silang malapit sa kaniya, sa makatuwid baga'y hanggang sa Issachar, at Zabulon at Nephtali, ay nagsipagdala ng tinapay na nasa ibabaw ng mga asno, at ng mga kamelyo, at ng mga mula, at ng mga baka, mga pagkaing harina, at mga binilong igos, at mga buwig ng pasas, at alak, at langis, at mga baka, at mga tupa na sagana: sapagka't may kagalakan sa Israel.
1 Chronicles 12

David and His Mighty Men at Ziklag
12 Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag while he was still shut up because of Saul,[a] the son of Kish. And they were the mighty warriors helping with the war. 2 They were armed with the bow, able to shoot right-handed or left-handed, slinging stones or shooting arrows with the bow; they were kinsmen of Saul from Benjamin. 3 The leader was Ahiezer, then Jehoash, sons of Shemaah the Gibeonite; Jeiel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite; 4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the thirty who was over the thirty;[b] Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite; 5 [c] Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Hariphite; 6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham from the Gedor.
8 And from the Gadites, valiant mighty warriors, soldiers fit for war,[d] expert with shield and spear, defected to David at the fortress toward the wilderness. And they had faces like lions[e] and were swift as gazelles upon the mountains. 9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah second, Eliab third, 10 Mishmannah fourth, Jeremiah fifth, 11 Attai sixth, Eliel seventh, 12 Jehonan eighth, Elzabad ninth, 13 Jeremiah tenth, Macbannai eleventh. 14 These were the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The smallest one was as a hundred, and the greatest as a thousand. 15 These were they who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was filled over its banks. And they put to flight all who were in the valley to the east and to the west.
16 And some of the sons of Benjamin and from Judah came to the fortress, to David. 17 And David went out to meet them[f] and answered and said to them, “If you come in peace to me, to help me, my heart will be joined with you,[g] but if you come to betray me to my adversaries, although there is no wrong on my hands, may the God of our fathers see and pass judgment.” 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the thirty who said:
“We are yours, O David!
And we are with you, O son of Jesse!
Peace! Peace to you, and peace to those who help you,
for your God helps you.”
So David appointed them as heads of the troops.
19 And some Manassites deserted to David when he came with the Philistines to the battle against Saul, but he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines sent him away upon counsel, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul at the cost of our heads.” 20 When he went to Ziklag some Manassites deserted to him: Adnah, Jehozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, heads of the thousands that were for Manasseh. 21 And they themselves helped David against the troops, for all of them were mighty men of strength and were commanders in the army. 22 Day in and day out[h] they came to David to help him until there was a great army, like the army of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the chiefs of those prepared for the army who came to David at Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him according to the word of Yahweh. 24 The sons of Judah bearing shield and spear: six thousand eight hundred armed troops. 25 From the men of Simeon, mighty warriors of strength for war: seven thousand one hundred. 26 From the Levites: four thousand six hundred. 27 Jehoiada the chief officer of the house of Aaron, and with him, three thousand seven hundred. 28 And Zadok, a young man, a mighty warrior of strength, and the house of his father: twenty-two commanders. 29 From the men of Benjamin, kinsmen of Saul, three thousand, and even still[i] the majority of them remained loyal[j] to the house of Saul. 30 And from the men of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred mighty warriors of strength, famous men in the house of their fathers. 31 And from the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand who were designated by name to come to make David king. 32 And from the men of Issachar: men who were skilled in understanding the times[k] to know what Israel should do. Their chiefs were two hundred, and all their kinsmen were under their command. 33 From Zebulun, those who went out armed, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war: fifty thousand to help David with singleness of purpose.[l] 34 From Naphtali: one thousand commanders; and those with them with shield and spear: thirty-seven thousand. 35 From the Danites, those equipped for battle: twenty-eight thousand six hundred. 36 And from Asher, those who went out armed and prepared for battle: forty thousand. 37 And from beyond the Jordan, from the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all their weapons of war for battle: one hundred and twenty thousand. 38 All these were men of war arrayed in battle line with a whole heart.[m] They came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel. Likewise, all the rest of Israel had one heart to make David king. 39 And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their kinsmen were prepared for them. 40 And also their relatives, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen—provisions of flour, cakes of figs, raisin cakes, wine and oil, cattle and sheep in abundance, for there was great joy in Israel.

Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag,(A) while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed;(B) they were relatives of Saul(C) from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[a](D) 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(E)
8 Some Gadites(F) defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions,(G) and they were as swift as gazelles(H) in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, 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 and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,(I) and the greatest for a thousand.(J) 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks,(K) and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites(L) and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
18 Then the Spirit(M) came on Amasai,(N) chief of the Thirty, and he said:
“We are yours, David!
We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success,(O) success to you,
and success to those who help you,
for your God will help you.”
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)(P) 20 When David went to Ziklag,(Q) these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[b]
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron(R) to turn(S) Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:(T)
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok,(U) a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin,(V) Saul’s tribe—3,000, most(W) of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do(X)—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel.(Y) All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking,(Z) for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies(AA) of flour, fig cakes, raisin(AB) cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy(AC) in Israel.
