1 Crónicas 12
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Guerreros aliados de David
12 David se escondió de Saúl hijo de Quis en Siclag y hasta allí fueron a unirse a él varios guerreros que le habían ayudado en las batallas. 2 Eran hombres muy hábiles en el uso del arco y la flecha y podían lanzarlas con ambas manos. Esta es la lista con sus nombres:
De la tribu de Benjamín y parientes de Saúl: 3 El jefe Ajiezer y Joás, ambos eran hijos de Semá de Guibeá; Jeziel y Pélet hijos de Azmávet; Beracá y Jehú de Anatot; 4 Ismaías, nacido en Gabaón, quien era uno de los treinta guerreros y jefe de ellos; Jeremías, Jahaziel, Johanán y Jozabad, nacido en Guederá. 5 También estaban Eluzay, Jerimot, Bealías, Semarías, Sefatías el harufita, 6 los coreítas Elcaná, Isías, Azarel, Joezer y Yasobeán; 7 Joelá y Zebadías hijos de Jeroán, de Guedor.
8 También algunos de la tribu de Gad se unieron a David cuando estaba en la fortaleza del desierto. Ellos eran guerreros valientes, siempre listos para la guerra. Eran hábiles con el escudo y la lanza; feroces como leones y ágiles como gacelas en las montañas. Esta es la lista con sus nombres:
9 Ezer, el jefe; Abdías, el segundo en rango; Eliab, el tercero; 10 Mismaná, el cuarto; Jeremías, el quinto; 11 Atay, el sexto; Eliel, el séptimo; 12 Johanán, el octavo; Elzabad, el noveno; 13 Jeremías, el décimo, y Macbanay, el undécimo. 14 Estos gaditas eran jefes militares. El de menor rango estaba a cargo de 100 hombres y el de mayor rango dirigía a más de 1000 hombres. 15 Ellos fueron los hombres que cruzaron el río Jordán en el primer mes, cuando el río estaba muy crecido. Pusieron en fuga a todos los que vivían en los valles hacia el oriente y el occidente.
16 Algunos hombres de la tribu de Benjamín y Judá también se unieron a David en la fortaleza. 17 David fue a encontrarse con ellos y les dijo: «Si ustedes vienen en son de paz para ayudarme, me alegra mucho que se unan a mí. Pero si han venido a traicionarme, yo, que no he matado a nadie, espero que el Dios de sus antepasados los condene».
18 Entonces el Espíritu vino sobre Amasay, el jefe de los treinta, y él dijo así:
«¡Estamos de tu lado, David!
¡Estamos contigo, hijo de Isaí!
¡Paz, sí, paz para ti
y para los que te ayudan,
porque Dios te ha ayudado!»
Entonces David les dio la bienvenida y los llevó junto con los jefes de su ejército.
19 Algunos hombres de la tribu de Manasés también se pusieron del lado de David cuando llegó con los filisteos para luchar contra Saúl. Pero los filisteos hicieron una reunión de dirigentes antes del combate. En esa reunión pensaron que David podría unirse a Saúl y eso les costaría la vida. Entonces decidieron sacar a David y por eso él no ayudó a los filisteos. 20 Los hombres de la tribu de Manasés que se unieron a David cuando fue a Siclag fueron los siguientes: Adnás, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Eliú y Ziletay, quienes eran jefes de los clanes de Manasés. 21 Todos ellos eran guerreros y oficiales del ejército, así que pudieron ayudar a David a pelear contra las bandas de invasores. 22 Cada día más hombres se unían a David, así que lograron formar un ejército tan grande como un ejército de Dios.
Más guerreros se unen a David
23 Muchos hombres equipados para la guerra llegaron hasta Hebrón para unirse a David. Allí le dieron el poder sobre el reino de Saúl, tal como lo había dicho el SEÑOR. Aquí está el total de hombres:
24 De la tribu de Judá llegaron 6800 hombres con sus escudos y lanzas, equipados para la guerra.
25 De la tribu de Simeón se unieron 7100 guerreros valientes.
26 De la tribu de Leví se presentaron 4600 hombres.
27 Joyadá, jefe de la familia de Aarón, llegó con 3700 hombres.
28 Sadoc, joven guerrero, llegó con 22 comandantes de su familia.
29 De la tribu de Benjamín, la misma de Saúl, se presentaron 3000 hombres. Casi todos ellos habían permanecido leales a la familia de Saúl.
30 De la tribu de Efraín llegaron 20 800 guerreros famosos en sus clanes.
31 La media tribu de Manasés designó directamente a 18 000 hombres para ir a proclamar rey a David.
32 La tribu de Isacar entendía muy bien lo que pasaba en ese tiempo y sabía lo que Israel debía hacer. Por eso enviaron a 200 jefes y todos sus parientes bajo sus órdenes.
33 De la tribu de Zabulón llegaron 50 000 hombres con el firme propósito de ayudar. Todos estaban preparados para el combate y llevaban toda clase de armas.
34 La tribu de Neftalí envió a mil comandantes con 37 000 soldados con escudo y lanza.
35 De la tribu de Dan llegaron 28 600 hombres listos para la batalla.
36 De la tribu de Aser se presentaron 40 000 hombres dispuestos para la guerra y preparados para la batalla.
37 De las tribus del otro lado del Jordán, o sea la tribu de Rubén, la de Gad y la media tribu de Manasés, llegaron 120 000 hombres con toda clase de armas.
38 Todos estos guerreros se reunieron en Hebrón y formaron un solo ejército. Todos ellos y todo el pueblo de Israel estaban decididos a establecer a David como rey de todo Israel. 39 Todos ellos estuvieron con David, bebiendo y celebrando durante tres días. Todos sus parientes les daban alimento y bebida. 40 También los vecinos cercanos y hasta los de Isacar, Zabulón y Neftalí les enviaron provisiones en camellos, burros, mulas y bueyes. Allá recibieron grandes cantidades de harina, tortas de higos, pasas, vino, aceite de oliva, bueyes y ovejas, porque todo Israel estaba de fiesta.
Divrey Hayamim Alef 12
Orthodox Jewish Bible
12 Now these are they that came to Dovid to Tziklag, while he was still a fugitive because of Sha’ul Ben Kish; and they were among the gibborim, helpers in milchamah.
2 They were armed with keshet (bow), and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting khitzim (arrows) from a keshet; they were kinsmen of Sha’ul, of Binyamin.
3 The head was Achiezer, then Yoash, the Bnei Shema’ah the Giveati; Yeziel, Pelet, the Bnei Azmavet; Berachah, and Yehu the Antoti.
4 (5) And Yishmayah the Giveoni, a gibbor among the Shloshim (Thirty), and over the Shloshim; and Yirmeyah, Yachaziel, Yochanan, and Yozavad the Gederati,
5 (6) Eluzai, Yerimot, Bealyah, Shemaryahu, and Shephatyahu the Charuphi,
6 (7) Elkanah, Yishiyahu, Azare’el, Yoezer, and Yashov‘am, the Korchi,
7 (8) And Yoelah, and Zevadyah, the Bnei Yerocham of Gedor.
8 (9) And of the Gadi there separated themselves unto Dovid into the stronghold in the midbar gibborei hachayil (men of valor), and anshei tzavah (army men) for milchamah, that could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of aryeh, and were as swift as the gazelles upon the harim;
9 (10) Ezer the head, Ovadyah the second, Eliav the third,
10 (11) Mishmannah the fourth, Yirmeyah the fifth,
11 (12) Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 (13) Yochanan the eighth, Elzavad the ninth,
13 (14) Yirmeyah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 (15) These were of the Bnei Gad, commanders of the tzava (army). One of the least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to an elef.
15 (16) These are they that went over Yarden in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks; they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 (17) And there came of the Bnei Binyamin and Yehudah to the stronghold unto Dovid.
17 (18) And Dovid went out before them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come in shalom unto me to help me, mine lev shall be united unto you, but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no chamas in mine hands, Elohei Avoteinu look thereon, and pass [His] judgment.
18 (19) Then the Ruach [HaKodesh] came upon Amasai, who was head of the Thirty, and he said, Thine are we, Dovid, and on thy side, thou Ben Yishai. Shalom, shalom be unto thee, and shalom be to thine helpers; for Eloheicha helpeth thee. Then Dovid received them, and made them heads of the gedud (raiding band, troop).
19 (20) And there defected some of Menasheh to Dovid, when he went with the Pelishtim (Philistines) against Sha’ul for milchamah, but they helped them [Pelishtim] not; for the rulers of the Pelishtim after etzah (counsel) sent him [Dovid] away, saying, He [Dovid] will defect to his adon Sha’ul to the jeopardy of our heads.
20 (21) As he went to Tziklag, there defected to him those of Menasheh, Adnach, and Yozavad, and Yedia’el, and Micha’el, and Yozavad, and Elihu, and Tziltai, heads of the alafim that were of Menasheh.
21 (22) And they helped Dovid against the gedud, for they were all gibborei chayil, and were sarim in the tzava (army).
22 (23) For at that time day by day there came men to Dovid to help him, until it was a machaneh gadol, like the Machaneh Elohim.
23 (24) And these are the numbers of the leaders that were ready-armed for the army, and came to Dovid to Chevron, to turn over the Malchut Sha’ul to him, according to the word of Hashem.
24 (25) The Bnei Yehudah that bore shield and romach (spear) were six alafim and eight hundred, ready-armed for tzva.
25 (26) Of the Bnei Shim’on, gibborei chayil for tzava, shivat alafim and one hundred.
26 (27) Of the Bnei Levi four alafim and six hundred.
27 (28) And Yehoyada was the nagid of those of Aharon, and with him were three alafim and sheva hundred;
28 (29) And Tzadok, a na’ar gibbor chayil, and of bais aviv twenty and two sarim.
29 (30) And of the Bnei Binyamin, the kindred of Sha’ul, three alafim; for up until then the greatest part of them had kept shomrim mishmeret Bais Sha’ul (guarded loyalty to the House of Sha’ul).
30 (31) And of the Bnei Ephrayim twenty elef and eight hundred, gibborei chayil, famous throughout the bais of their avot.
31 (32) And of the half tribe of Menasheh eighteen elef, which were designated by shmot, to come and make Dovid Melech.
32 (33) And of the Bnei Yissakhar, which were men that had binah (understanding) of the times, to know what Yisroel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were under their commandment.
33 (34) Of Zevulun, such as went forth to tzava (military service), expert in milchamah, with all instruments of milchamah, fifty elef, which could keep rank; they were not of double heart.
34 (35) And of Naphtali elef sarim, and with them with shield and khanit (spear) thirty and shivah elef.
35 (36) And of the Dani expert in milchamah twenty and eight elef and six hundred.
36 (37) And of Asher, such as went forth to tzava (military service), expert in milchamah, forty elef.
37 (38) And on the other side of Yarden, of the Reuveni, and the Gadi, and of the half shevet (tribe) of Menasheh, with all manner of instruments of tzava for the milchamah, a hundred and twenty elef.
38 (39) All these anshei milchamah, that could keep rank, came with a levav shalem to Chevron, to make Dovid Melech over kol Yisroel; and all the rest also of Yisroel were of lev echad to make Dovid Melech.
39 (40) And there they were with Dovid yamim shloshah, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 (41) Moreover they that were kerovim (near ones, neighbors) to them, even unto Yissakhar and Zevulun and Naphtali, brought lechem on chamorim, and on gemalim (camels), and on peradim, and on bakar, and food of kemach (flour), cakes of figs, and raisin cakes, and yayin, and shemen, and bakar, and tzon abundantly; for there was simchah in Yisroel.
1 Chronicles 12
King James Version
12 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close 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 Antothite.
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad 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 Korhites,
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that 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 an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be 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 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 fall 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 Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 For at that time day by day there 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 bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.
24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour 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 valour, and of 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 ward of the house of Saul.
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar, which 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 commandment.
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which 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 Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
38 All these men of war, that 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 they that were nigh them, even unto 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.
