投奔大卫的人
12 大卫在洗革拉躲避基士的儿子扫罗的时候，有些勇士来投奔他，帮助他作战。 2 他们是弓箭手，左右手都能甩石射箭，来自便雅悯支派，与扫罗同族。 3 他们的首领是亚希以谢，其次是约阿施，都是基比亚人示玛的儿子，还有亚斯玛威的儿子耶薛和毗力，以及比拉迦、亚拿突人耶户， 4 统领三十位勇士的杰出战士基遍人以实买雅，另有耶利米、雅哈悉、约哈难、基得拉人约撒拔、 5 伊利乌赛、耶利摩、比亚利雅、示玛利雅、哈律弗人示法提雅、 6 可拉人以利加拿、耶西亚、亚萨列、约以谢、雅朔班、 7 基多人耶罗罕的儿子犹拉和西巴第雅。
8 有些迦得支派的人到旷野的堡垒投奔大卫，他们作战英勇，善用盾和矛，貌似雄狮，快如山鹿。 9 他们为首的是以薛，其次是俄巴底雅，第三是以利押， 10 第四是弥施玛拿，第五是耶利米， 11 第六是亚太，第七是以利业， 12 第八是约哈难，第九是以利萨巴， 13 第十是耶利米，第十一是末巴奈。 14 他们都是迦得支派的将领，级别最低的统领一百人，最高的统领一千人。 15 一月，约旦河水涨过两岸的时候，他们渡到河对岸，把住在平原的人打得东奔西逃。
16 便雅悯支派和犹大支派中也有人到堡垒投奔大卫， 17 大卫出去迎接他们，说：“如果你们是好心来帮助我的，我就与你们结盟，但如果你们把我这无罪之人出卖给敌人，愿我们祖先的上帝鉴察、惩罚你们。” 18 当时，上帝的灵感动那三十位勇士的首领亚玛撒，他就说：
“大卫啊，我们是你的人！
耶西的儿子啊，我们拥护你！
愿你无比昌盛！
愿帮助你的人也都昌盛！
因为你的上帝帮助你。”
大卫便收留他们，派他们统领他的队伍。
19 从前，大卫和非利士人一同去攻打扫罗的时候，有些玛拿西人来投奔大卫。但大卫及其部下没有帮助非利士人作战，因为非利士人的首领商议后，害怕大卫拿着非利士人的头颅去归顺他的主人扫罗，便让他们走了。 20 大卫回洗革拉的时候，玛拿西支派的千夫长押拿、约撒拔、耶叠、米迦勒、约撒拔、以利户、洗勒太都来投奔他。 21 他们都是将领，作战英勇，帮助大卫抗击匪徒。 22 那时天天有人来投奔大卫，以致形成一支大军，好像上帝的军队。
23 有些全副武装的士兵也到希伯仑投奔大卫，要把扫罗的国权交给大卫，正如耶和华的应许。以下是这些人的数目： 24 从犹大支派来了手持盾牌和长矛的六千八百名战士； 25 从西缅支派来了七千一百名英勇的战士； 26 从利未支派来了四千六百人； 27 亚伦家族中的首领耶何耶大和他的三千七百个随从； 28 年轻、英勇的撒督和他家族的二十二个将领； 29 扫罗的亲族、便雅悯支派中有三千人，大部分便雅悯人仍然效忠扫罗家； 30 来自以法莲支派、在本族中有名望的两万零八百个英勇的战士； 31 来自玛拿西半个支派、被点名选出来拥立大卫做王的一万八千人； 32 来自以萨迦支派、洞悉时事且深明以色列当行之道、统领族人的二百位族长； 33 来自西布伦支派、能征善战、拥有各种兵器、训练有素、忠心耿耿的五万人； 34 来自拿弗他利支派的一千名将领和三万七千名手持盾牌和长矛的随从； 35 来自但支派的两万八千六百名训练有素的人； 36 来自亚设支派的四万名训练有素的战士； 37 来自约旦河东边的吕便支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的十二万拥有各种兵器的人。
38 以上这些人都是能征善战的勇士，他们诚心诚意地到希伯仑拥立大卫做以色列王，其余的以色列人也都万众一心地要立大卫做王。 39 他们在那里与大卫一起吃喝了三天，因为他们的亲族为他们预备了食物。 40 他们周围的人，远至以萨迦、西布伦和拿弗他利支派的人，都用驴、骆驼、骡子和牛驮来面饼、无花果饼、葡萄干、酒和油，又牵来许多牛和羊，以色列境内充满了欢乐。
1 Chronicles 12

David's Early Followers from the Tribe of Benjamin
12 David was living in Ziklag, where he had gone to escape from King Saul. There he was joined by many experienced, reliable soldiers, 2 members of the tribe of Benjamin, to which Saul belonged. They could shoot arrows and sling stones either right-handed or left-handed. 3-7 They were under the command of Ahiezer and Joash, sons of Shemaah, from Gibeah.
These were the soldiers:
Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth
Beracah and Jehu from Anathoth
Ishmaiah from Gibeon, a famous soldier and one of the leaders of “The Thirty”
Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johannan, and Jozabad, from Gederah
Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah, from Hariph
Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, of the clan of Korah
Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor
David's Followers from the Tribe of Gad
8 These are the names of the famous, experienced soldiers from the tribe of Gad who joined David's troops when he was at the desert fort. They were experts with shields and spears, as fierce looking as lions and as quick as mountain deer. 9-13 They were ranked in the following order: Ezer, Obadiah, Eliab, Mishmannah, Jeremiah, Attai, Eliel, Johanan, Elzabad, Jeremiah, and Machbannai.
14 Some of these men from the tribe of Gad were senior officers in command of a thousand men, and others were junior officers in command of a hundred. 15 In the first month of one year, the time when the Jordan River overflowed its banks, they crossed the river, scattering the people who lived in the valleys both east and west of the river.
Followers from Benjamin and Judah
16 Once a group of men from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah went out to the fort where David was. 17 David went to meet them and said, “If you are coming as friends to help me, you are welcome here. Join us! But if you intend to betray me to my enemies, even though I have not tried to hurt you, the God of our ancestors will know it and punish you.”
18 God's spirit took control of one of them, Amasai, who later became the commander of “The Thirty,” and he called out,
“David son of Jesse, we are yours!
Success to you and those who help you!
God is on your side.”
David welcomed them and made them officers in his army.
Followers from Manasseh
19 Some soldiers from the tribe of Manasseh went over to David's side when he was marching out with the Philistines to fight King Saul. Actually he did not help the Philistines, for their kings were afraid that he would betray them to his former master Saul, so they sent him back to Ziklag. 20 These are the soldiers from Manasseh who went over to David's side when he was returning: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. In Manasseh they had all commanded units of a thousand men. 21 They served David as officers over his troops,[a] because they were all outstanding soldiers. Later they were officers in the Israelite army. 22 Almost every day new men joined David's forces, so that his army was soon enormous.
List of David's Forces
23-37 When David was at Hebron, many trained soldiers joined his army to help make him king in place of Saul, as the Lord had promised. Their numbers were as follows:
Judah: 6,800 well-equipped men, armed with shields and spears;
Simeon: 7,100 well-trained men;
Levi: 4,600 men;
Followers of Jehoiada, descendant of Aaron: 3,700 men;
Relatives of Zadok, an able young fighter: 22 leading men;
Benjamin (Saul's own tribe): 3,000 men (most of the people of Benjamin had remained loyal to Saul);
Ephraim: 20,800 men famous in their own clans;
West Manasseh: 18,000 men chosen to go and make David king;
Issachar: 200 leaders, together with the men under their command (these leaders knew what Israel should do and the best time to do it);
Zebulun: 50,000 loyal and reliable men ready to fight, trained to use all kinds of weapons;
Naphtali: 1,000 leaders, together with 37,000 men armed with shields and spears;
Dan: 28,600 trained men;
Asher: 40,000 men ready for battle;
Tribes east of the Jordan—Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh: 120,000 men trained to use all kinds of weapons.
38 All these soldiers, ready for battle, went to Hebron, determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the people of Israel were united in the same purpose. 39 They spent three days there with David, feasting on the food and drink which their relatives had prepared for them. 40 From as far away as the northern tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, people came bringing donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen loaded with food—flour, figs, raisins, wine, and olive oil. They also brought cattle and sheep to kill and eat. All this was an expression of the joy that was felt throughout the whole country.

1 Chronicles 12
Revised Geneva Translation
12 Also, these are those who came to David, to Ziklag, while he was still under restraint because of Saul, the son of Kish. And they were among the valiant and helpers of the battle.
2 They were weaponed with bows and could use the right and the left hand with stones and with arrows and with bows and were Saul’s brethren, of Benjamin.
3 The chiefs were Ahiezer and Joash, the sons of Shemaah, a Gibeathite, and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, Berachah and Jehu the Anathothite,
4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a valiant man among thirty (and above 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 Jisshiah and Azarel and Joezer, Jashobeam of Korah
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 And some of the Gadites separated themselves to David, into the stronghold of the wilderness, valiant men of war, men of arms for battle who could handle spear and shield. And their faces were like the faces of lions, and similar in swiftness to the deer in the mountains:
9 Ezer the chief, 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 the sons of Gad, captains of the army. One of the least of them could resist a hundred, and the greatest a thousand.
15 These are those who went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks, and put to flight all those of the valley toward the east and the west.
16 And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold, to David.
17 And David went out to meet them and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me, to help me, my heart shall be knit with yours. But if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, there being no wickedness in my hands, the God of our fathers will behold it and rebuke it.”
18 And the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was the chief of thirty. And he said, “We are yours, David, and with you, O son of Jesse! Peace! Peace to you and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them captains of the garrison.
19 And some from Manasseh fell to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle. But they did not help them. For the princes of the Philistines, under advisement, sent him away, saying, “He will fall to his master Saul for 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, heads of the thousands who were of Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against that band; for they were all valiant men and were captains in the army.
22 For at that time, day by day, they came to David to help him, until it was a great army, like the host of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the captains who were armed to battle and came to David (to Hebron) to turn over 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 eight hundred, armed to the war,
25 of the children of Simeon, valiant men of war, seven thousand one hundred.
26 of the children of Levi, four thousand six hundred.
27 And Jehoiada was the chief of those from Aaron. And with him were three thousand seven hundred.
28 And of Zadok (a very valiant young man) and of his father’s household, came twenty-two captains.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul,came three thousand. For a great part of them until that time had kept the ward of the House of Saul.
30 And of the children of Ephraim came twenty thousand, and eight hundred valiant men and famous men in the household of their fathers.
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh came eighteen thousand, who were appointed by name to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar—who were men who 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 came fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war and in all instruments of war, who could keep the battle in formation. They were not of a double heart.
34 And of Naphtali came a thousand captains, and with them those with shield and spear (thirty-seven thousand).
35 And of Dan came twenty-eight thousand six hundred experts in battle.
36 And of Asher came forty thousand who went out to the battle and were trained in the wars.
37 And of the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites and of the Gadites and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all instruments of war to fight with, one hundred twenty thousand.
38 All these men of war, who could lead an army, came to Hebron with upright heart to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of Israel was of one accord to make David king.
39 And they were there with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Moreover, those who were near to them, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread upon donkeys and on camels and on mules and on oxen: abundant meat, flour, figs, raisins, wine, oil, oxen and sheep. For there was joy in Israel.
