Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ang mga Tawo nga Nag-upod kay David kag sa Iya mga Soldado
12 Amo ini ang mga tawo nga nagkadto kay David didto sa Ziklag kag nag-upod sa iya sang nagapanago siya kay Saul nga anak ni Kish. Isa sila sa mga nagbulig kay David sa inaway. 2 May mga pana sila, kag sagad gid sila magpana ukon maglabyog sang bato, tuo man ukon wala nga kamot. Mga paryente sila ni Saul halin sa tribo ni Benjamin. 3 Ginpanguluhan sila ni Ahiezer kag ni Joash nga mga anak ni Shemaa nga taga-Gibeah. Amo ini ang ila mga ngalan:
si Jeziel kag si Pelet nga mga anak ni Azmavet,
si Beraca kag si Jehu nga taga-Anatot,
4 si Ishmaya nga taga-Gibeon, nga bantog kag maisog nga lider sang 30 ka maisog nga mga soldado,
si Jeremias, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad nga taga-Gedera,
5 si Eluzai, Jerimot, Bealia, Shemaria, kag Shefatia nga taga-Haruf,
6 si Elkana, Ishia, Azarel, Joezer, kag Jashobeam nga mga kaliwat ni Kora,
7 si Joela kag Zebadia nga mga anak ni Jeroham nga taga-Gedor.
8 May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Gad nga nag-upod kay David didto sa mabakod nga palanaguan sa kamingawan. Mga maisog sila nga mga soldado kag sagad sila maggamit sang taming kag bangkaw. Pareho sila kaisog sa mga leon, kag pareho kadasig sa usa sa kabukiran:
9 si Ezer amo ang ila pangulo,
si Obadias ang ikaduha,
si Eliab ang ikatatlo,
10 si Mishmana ang ikaapat,
si Jeremias ang ikalima,
11 si Atai ang ikaanom,
si Eliel ang ikapito,
12 si Johanan ang ikawalo,
si Elzabad ang ikasiyam,
13 si Jeremias ang ikanapulo,
kag si Macbanai ang ikaonse.
14 Ini sila nga mga kaliwat ni Gad mga kumander sang mga soldado. Ang pinakamaluya sa ila makadumala sang 100 ka soldado kag ang pinakamakusog sa ila makadumala sang 1,000 ka soldado. 15 Gintabok nila ang Suba sang Jordan sang tion sang tigbalaha sini sa una nga bulan sang tuig, kag gintabog nila ang tanan nga nagaestar sa kapatagan sa sidlangan kag sa nakatundan sang suba.
16 May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Benjamin kag ni Juda nga nagkadto kay David didto sa mabakod nga palanaguan. 17 Nagguwa si David sa pagsugata sa ila kag nagsiling, “Kon nagkadto kamo diri sa pagbulig sa akon bilang mga abyan, ginabaton ko kamo nga mag-upod sa amon. Pero kon nagkadto kamo diri sa pagtugyan sa akon sa akon mga kaaway bisan wala ako sing may ginhimo nga malain sa inyo, kabay pa nga makita ini sang Dios sang aton mga katigulangan kag silutan niya kamo.”
18 Dayon gin-gamhan sang Espiritu si Amasai nga sang ulihi nangin lider sang 30 ka maisog nga mga soldado, kag nagsiling siya,
“Imo kami, O David nga anak ni Jesse! Kabay pa nga magmadinalag-on ka kag ang mga nagabulig sa imo, kay ang imo Dios nagabulig sa imo.” Gani ginbaton sila ni David kag ginhimo nga mga opisyal sang iya mga soldado.
19 May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Manase nga nag-upod kay David sang magkadto siya sa mga Filistinhon sa pagpakig-away kay Saul. Pero ang natabo, wala magsugot ang mga Filistinhon nga mag-upod si David kag ang iya mga tinawo, kay nagahunahuna sila nga basi mag-unong liwat si David sa iya agalon nga si Saul. Gani pagkatapos nila diskusyon, ginpabalik nila si David sa Ziklag.
20 Amo ini ang mga tawo nga halin sa tribo ni Manase nga nag-upod kay David sa Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediel, Micael, Jozabad, Elihu, kag Ziletai. Ang kada isa sa ila lider sang isa ka libo ka soldado sa tribo ni Manase. 21 Nagbulig sila kay David sa pagpakig-away sa mga manugsalakay, kay mga maayo sila tanan nga mga soldado. Amo ina nga nangin kumander sila sang mga soldado ni David. 22 Kada adlaw, may mga tawo nga nagakadto kay David sa pagbulig sa iya, hasta nga nagdamo kag naglig-on ang iya mga soldado.[a]
23 Amo ini ang kadamuon sang armado nga mga soldado nga nagkadto kay David didto sa Hebron sa pagbulig sa iya nga maagaw ang ginharian ni Saul, suno sa ginpromisa sang Ginoo:
24 Halin sa tribo ni Juda: 6,800 ka armado nga mga soldado nga may mga bangkaw kag mga pana.
25 Halin sa tribo ni Simeon: 7,100 ka maayo nga mga soldado.
26 Halin sa tribo ni Levi: 4,600 ka soldado, 27 lakip na si Jehoyada nga pangulo sang pamilya ni Aaron kag ang iya 3,700 ka tinawo, 28 kag si Zadok nga isa ka bataon kag maayo nga soldado kag ang 22 ka opisyal halin sa iya pamilya.
29 Halin sa tribo ni Benjamin nga mga paryente ni Saul: 3,000 ka soldado. Kalabanan sa mga kaliwat ni Benjamin padayon nga nag-unong kay Saul.
30 Halin sa tribo ni Efraim: 20,800 ka maayo nga mga soldado kag bantog sa ila mga pamilya.
31 Halin sa katunga nga tribo ni Manase: 18,000 ka soldado. Ginpadala sila para lang sa pagbulig nga mangin hari si David.
32 Halin sa tribo ni Isacar: 200 ka pangulo upod sa ila mga paryente nga ila ginadumalahan. Ini sila nakahibalo kon ano ang dapat himuon sang Israel kag kon san-o nila ini himuon.
33 Halin sa tribo ni Zebulun: 50,000 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway. Armado sila sang nagkalain-lain nga mga armas. Handa gid sila nga magbulig kag mag-unong kay David.
34 Halin sa tribo ni Naftali: 1,000 ka opisyal kag 37,000 ka soldado nga may dala nga mga taming kag mga bangkaw.
35 Halin sa tribo ni Dan: 28,600 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway.
36 Halin sa tribo ni Asher: 40,000 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway.
37 Kag halin sa mga tribo sa sidlangan sang Suba sang Jordan, ang tribo ni Reuben, Gad kag katunga sang tribo ni Manase: 120,000 ka soldado nga armado sang nagkalain-lain nga mga armas.
38 Ini sila tanan mga soldado nga nagbuluntad sa pagpakig-away. Nagkadto sila sa Hebron nga determinado sa paghimo kay David nga hari sa bug-os nga Israel. Halos ang tanan nga Israelinhon gusto gid nga si David mangin ila hari. 39 Nagpabilin sila didto sang tatlo ka adlaw upod kay David nga nagakinaon kag nagaininom kay ginpadal-an sila sang ila mga kasimanwa sang pagkaon. 40 Nagdala man sang pagkaon ang ila mga kadugo halin pa sa malayo nga lugar sang Isacar, Zebulun, kag Naftali. Ginkarga nila ini sa mga asno, mga kamelyo, mga mula,[b] kag mga baka. Madamo ang ila mga harina, mga binulad nga higos, pasas, bino, lana, baka, kag karnero. Malipayon gid ang tanan sa 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.

The Growth of David’s Army(A)
12 Now (B)these were the men who came to David at (C)Ziklag while he was still a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers in the war, 2 armed with bows, using both the right hand and (D)the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows with the bow. They were of Benjamin, Saul’s brethren.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of [a]Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite; 4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite; 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Jisshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Some Gadites [b]joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were (E)as swift as gazelles on 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, and Machbanai the eleventh. 14 These were from the sons of Gad, captains of the army; the least was over a hundred, and the greatest was over a (F)thousand. 15 These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its (G)banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. 17 And David went out [c]to meet them, and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no [d]wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.” 18 Then the Spirit [e]came upon (H)Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said:
“We are yours, O David;
We are on your side, O son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
And peace to your helpers!
For your God helps you.”
So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.
19 And some from Manasseh defected to David (I)when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, (J)“He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads.” 20 When he went to Ziklag, those of Manasseh who defected to him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh. 21 And they helped David against (K)the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army. 22 For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, (L)like the army of God.
David’s Army at Hebron
23 Now these were the numbers of the [f]divisions that were equipped for war, and (M)came to David at (N)Hebron to (O)turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, (P)according to the word of the Lord: 24 of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred [g]armed for war; 25 of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor fit for war, seven thousand one hundred; 26 of the sons of Levi four thousand six hundred; 27 Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites, and with him three thousand seven hundred; 28 (Q)Zadok, a young man, a valiant warrior, and from his father’s house twenty-two captains; 29 of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand (until then (R)the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul); 30 of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, [h]famous men throughout their father’s house; 31 of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king; 32 of the sons of Issachar (S)who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command; 33 of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, (T)stouthearted men who could keep ranks; 34 of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear; 35 of the Danites who could keep battle formation, twenty-eight thousand six hundred; 36 of Asher, those who could go out to war, able to keep battle formation, forty thousand; 37 of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.
38 All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a loyal heart, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of (U)one mind to make David king. 39 And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them. 40 Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen—provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

The Mighty Men Join David
12 (A)Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul the son of Kish. And they were among the mighty men who helped him in war. 2 They (B)were bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the (C)left hand; they were Benjaminites, (D)Saul's kinsmen. 3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, both sons of Shemaah of (E)Gibeah; also Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah, Jehu of (F)Anathoth, 4 Ishmaiah of (G)Gibeon, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader over the thirty; Jeremiah,[a] Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad of Gederah, 5 Eluzai,[b] Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the (H)Korahites; 7 And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 From the Gadites there went over to David at the stronghold in the wilderness mighty and experienced warriors, expert with shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were (I)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 Johanan eighth, Elzabad ninth, 13 Jeremiah tenth, Machbannai eleventh. 14 These Gadites were officers of the army; the least was a (J)match for a hundred men and the greatest for a thousand. 15 These are the men who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was (K)overflowing all its banks, and put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 And some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in friendship to help me, my heart will be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, although there is no wrong in my hands, then may the God of our fathers see and rebuke you.” 18 Then (L)the Spirit clothed (M)Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said,
“We are yours, O David,
and with you, O son of Jesse!
(N)Peace, peace to you,
and peace to your helpers!
For your God helps you.”
Then David received them and made them officers of his troops.
19 Some of the men of Manasseh deserted to David (O)when he came with the Philistines for the battle against Saul. (Yet he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away, saying, (P)“At peril to our heads he will desert to his master Saul.”) 20 As he went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh deserted to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against (Q)the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were commanders in the army. 22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God.
23 These are the numbers of the divisions of the armed troops (R)who came to David in Hebron (S)to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, (T)according to the word of the Lord. 24 The men of Judah bearing shield and spear were 6,800 armed troops. 25 Of the Simeonites, mighty men of valor for war, 7,100. 26 Of the Levites 4,600. 27 The prince Jehoiada, of the house of Aaron, and with him 3,700. 28 (U)Zadok, a young man mighty in valor, and twenty-two commanders from his own fathers' house. 29 Of the Benjaminites, (V)the kinsmen of Saul, 3,000, of whom the (W)majority had to that point kept their allegiance to the house of Saul. 30 Of the Ephraimites 20,800, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers' houses. 31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 18,000, who were (X)expressly named to come and make David king. 32 Of Issachar, men who (Y)had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command. 33 Of Zebulun 50,000 seasoned troops, (Z)equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David[c] with (AA)singleness of purpose. 34 Of Naphtali 1,000 commanders with whom were 37,000 men armed with shield and spear. 35 Of the Danites 28,600 men equipped for battle. 36 Of (AB)Asher 40,000 (AC)seasoned troops (AD)ready for battle. 37 Of the Reubenites and Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh from beyond the Jordan, 120,000 men armed with all the weapons of war.
38 All these, men of war, arrayed in battle order, came to Hebron with (AE)a whole heart to make David king over all Israel. Likewise, all the rest of Israel were of a (AF)single mind to make David king. 39 And they were there with David for three days, eating and drinking, for their brothers had made preparation for them. 40 And also their relatives, from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came bringing food on donkeys and on camels and on mules and on oxen, abundant provisions of flour, (AG)cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, and wine and oil, oxen and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.
