12 ¶ Lè David t'ap viv lavil Ziklag kote li te al kache pou Sayil, pitit gason Kich la, pa jwenn li, yon bann vanyan sòlda te vin jwenn li la pou ba l' konkou nan lagè a.

Yo tout te gen banza. Yo te gen ladrès pou voye wòch ak pou tire flèch ni ak men gòch ni ak men dwat. Se te moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te ye tankou Sayil.

Alatèt yo te gen Akyezè ak Joas, pitit gason Chema, moun lavil Gibeya, Jezyèl ak Pelèt, pitit gason Azmavèt, Beraka ak Jeou, moun lavil Anatòt,

Jismaja, moun lavil Gabawon, yonn nan trant vanyan sòlda yo ak yonn nan chèf yo, Jeremi, Jakazyèl, Joanan ak Jozabad, moun lavil Gedera.

Elouzayi, Jerimòt, Bealya, Chemarya ak Chefatya, moun lavil Awòf,

Elkana, Jichija, Azariyèl, Joezè ak Jakobeyam, nan branch fanmi Kore a.

Joela ak Zebadya, pitit gason Jewokam, moun lavil Gedò.

Konsa tou, nan branch fanmi Gad la, te gen moun ki te pati al jwenn David lè li te nan fò nan dezè a. Se te yon bann vanyan sòlda ki te gen ladrès nan fè lagè. Yo tout te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn. Yo te move tankou lyon, yo te konn kouri tankou kabrit nan mòn.

Premye a te rele Ezè, dezyèm lan Obadya, twazyèm lan Eliyab,

10 katriyèm lan Michmana, senkyèm lan Jeremi,

11 sizyèm lan Atayi, setyèm lan Eliyèl,

12 wityèm lan Jokanan, nevyèm lan Elzabad,

13 dizyèm lan Jeremi, onzyèm lan Makbanayi.

14 Mesye branch fanmi Gad yo te chèf nan lame a. Pi piti ladan yo a te vo san (100) sòlda, pi gran an te vo mil (1000) sòlda.

15 Se yo menm ki te janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an yon lè larivyè a t'ap desann nan premye mwa lanne a. Lèfini, yo fè tout moun ki te rete nan fon yo mete deyò, ni sou bò solèy leve, ni sou bò solèy kouche.

16 Nan branch fanmi Benjamen ak branch fanmi Jida yo te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David jouk nan fò kote l' te kache a.

17 David soti al kontre yo, li di yo: -Si se an zanmi nou vini pou ede m', m' byen kontan nou vin jwenn mwen. Men, si se pou nou trayi m' bay moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, mwen menm mwen konnen mwen pa fè ankenn mechanste, mwen lapriyè Bondye ak tout kè m'. Bondye zansèt nou yo va wè sa, se li ki va pini nou.

18 Lè sa a, lespri Bondye desann sou Amasayi, chèf trant vanyan yo, li di byen fò: -Nou la avè ou, David! Nou kanpe avè ou, pitit Izayi! Kè poze pou ou ak pou moun k'ap ede ou yo! Paske Bondye te pote ou sekou! Lè sa a, David resevwa yo, li mete yo chèf nan lame li a.

19 Nan branch fanmi Manase a, te gen moun ki te vin jwenn David lè li te mete tèt ansanm ak moun Filisti yo pou goumen ak Sayil. Men, lè sa a, David pa t' bay moun Filisti yo ankenn konkou. Lè gwo chèf moun Filisti yo reyini pou koze sou zafè a, yo te pran desizyon di l' non mèsi, paske yo t'ap di li ta ka vann yo pou li te ka byen anko ak Sayil, mèt li.

20 Men moun nan branch fanmi Manase a ki te vin mete tèt ansanm ak David apre li te tounen lavil Ziglag. Se te Adnak, Jozabad, Jedyayèl, Mikayèl, Jozabad, Eliyou ak Siltayi, ki te chèf rejiman mil sòlda laba nan peyi Manase.

21 Se yo menm ki te ede David ansanm ak lame a, paske se te yon bann vanyan sòlda. Apre sa, yo te gwo chèf nan lame a.

22 Se chak jou moun t'ap vin jwenn David pou ede l'. Se konsa li vin gen yon gwo lame ak anpil anpil moun ladan l'.

23 ¶ Men kantite moun avèk zam pou fè lagè ki te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon pou renmèt li gouvènman an nan plas Sayil, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.

24 Nan branch fanmi Jida a, similwisan (6.800) gason avèk plak pwotèj yo ak frenn yo, tout byen pare pou fè lagè.

25 Nan branch fanmi Simeyon an, sètmilsan (7.100) vanyan sòlda byen pare pou fè lagè.

26 Nan branch fanmi Levi a, katmilsisan (4.600),

27 plis twamilsètsan (3.700) nan fanmi Mawon an ak Jeojada alatèt yo.

28 Te gen Zadòk tou, yon jenn vanyan gason ak vennde lòt chèf nan fanmi li.

29 Nan branch fanmi Benjamen an, fanmi Sayil la menm, twamil (3.000) gason. Pifò nan moun fanmi Benjamen yo te kanpe toujou avèk Sayil.

30 Nan branch fanmi Efrayim lan, venmilwisan (20.800) vanyan sòlda. Tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo nan fanmi yo.

31 Nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, dizwimil (18.000) gason yo te chwazi pou al mete David wa sou fotèy la.

32 Nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moun ki te fò nan konnen sa pou pèp Izrayèl la fè ak lè pou yo fè l', desan (200) chèf ansanm ak tout gason nan branch fanmi an ki te sou kòmandman yo.

33 Nan branch fanmi Zabilon an, senkantmil (50.000) sòlda ki konn mache fè lagè avèk tout kalite zam, epi ki te soti pou ede David ak tout kè yo.

34 Nan branch fanmi Neftali a, mil (1000) chèf ansanm ak trannsètmil (37.000) gason ak plak pwotèj ak frenn.

35 Nan branch fanmi Dann lan ventwimilsisan (28.600) sòlda.

36 Nan branch fanmi Asè a, karantmil (40.000) sòlda ki konn mache fè lagè.

37 Lèfini, nan branch fanmi Woubenn lan, nan branch fanmi Gad la, ak nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a ki te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an te gen sanvenmil (120.000) gason ak tout kalite zam.

38 Tout sòlda sa yo, ki te tou pare pou fè lagè, te vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon ak tout kè yo. Yo te soti pou yo te fè l' wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout rès pèp Izrayèl la te vini ak menm lide a tou: fè David wa.

39 Yo pase twa jou la ansanm ak David, yo t'ap manje, yo t'ap bwè, paske moun Izrayèl parèy yo te pare tout bagay pou yo.

40 Lèfini, moun soti nan tout vwazinaj la, jouk nan peyi Isaka, peyi Zabilon ak peyi Neftali, yo pote manje sou bourik, sou chamo, sou milèt ak sou bèf. Te gen pwovizyon farin frans, gato, fig frans, grap rezen chèch, diven, lwil ak kantite bèf, mouton ak kabrit. Tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap fè fèt nan tout peyi a.

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.

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.

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.

And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,

And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

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;

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.

Guerreros que se unieron a David

12 Estos fueron los guerreros que se unieron a David en Siclag cuando este se encontraba desterrado por causa de Saúl, hijo de Quis. Ellos lo ayudaron en tiempos de guerra. Eran arqueros que podían lanzar piedras y disparar flechas con ambas manos. De los benjamitas parientes de Saúl:

el jefe Ajiezer y Joás, que eran hijos de Semá de Guibeá;

Jeziel y Pélet hijos de Azmávet;

Beracá y Jehú, oriundos de Anatot; Ismaías, el gabaonita, que era uno de los treinta guerreros y jefe de ellos;

Jeremías, Jahaziel, Johanán, Jozabad de Guederá, Eluzay, Jerimot, Bealías, Semarías, Sefatías, el harufita;

los coreítas Elcaná, Isías, Azarel, Joezer y Yasobeán,

Joelá y Zebadías, hijos de Jeroán, oriundos de Guedor.

También algunos de los gaditas se unieron a David cuando se encontraba en la fortaleza del desierto. Eran guerreros valientes, preparados para la guerra, hábiles en el manejo del escudo y de la lanza, feroces como leones y veloces como gacelas monteses.

Se llamaban: Ezer, el primero;

Abdías, el segundo; 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 del ejército; el menor de ellos valía por cien, y el mayor, por mil. 15 Fueron ellos quienes atravesaron el Jordán en el mes primero, cuando el río se desbordó por sus dos riberas, e hicieron huir a los habitantes de los valles hacia el este y el oeste.

16 También algunos guerreros de las tribus de Benjamín y de Judá se unieron a David en la fortaleza. 17 David salió a su encuentro y les dijo:

—Si vienen en son de paz y para ayudarme, los aceptaré; pero si vienen para entregarme a mis enemigos, ¡que el Dios de nuestros antepasados lo vea y lo castigue, pues yo no soy ningún criminal!

18 Y el Espíritu vino sobre Amasay, jefe de los treinta, y este exclamó:

«¡Somos tuyos, David!
    ¡Estamos contigo, hijo de Isaí!
¡Tres veces deseamos la paz
    a ti y a quien te brinde su ayuda!
        ¡Y quien te ayuda es tu Dios!».

David los recibió y los puso entre los jefes de la tropa.

19 También algunos guerreros de Manasés se unieron a David cuando este iba con los filisteos a luchar contra Saúl. Pero David y sus guerreros no les ayudaron, porque los jefes de los filisteos se reunieron y decidieron despedirlo, pues dijeron: «David se pondrá de parte de su señor Saúl y eso nos costará la cabeza». 20 Estos fueron los manasesitas que se unieron a David cuando este fue a Siclag: Adná, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Eliú y Ziletay, jefes manasesitas de escuadrones de mil hombres. 21 Ayudaban a David a combatir a las bandas de invasores, pues cada uno de ellos era un guerrero valiente y comandante del ejército. 22 Y cada día se le unían más soldados a David, hasta que llegó a tener un ejército grande, como un ejército de Dios.

Los que se unieron a David en Hebrón

23 Este es el número de los guerreros diestros para la guerra que se presentaron ante David en Hebrón, para entregarle el reino de Saúl, conforme a la palabra del Señor:

24 De Judá: seis mil ochocientos hombres armados de lanza y escudo, diestros para la guerra.

25 De Simeón: siete mil cien guerreros valientes.

26 Cuatro mil seiscientos de Leví 27 y tres mil setecientos aaronitas, con Joyadá, su oficial a cargo; 28 además, Sadoc, joven guerrero muy valiente, con veintidós oficiales de su familia patriarcal.

29 De Benjamín, parientes de Saúl: tres mil hombres. La mayor parte de ellos había permanecido fiel a la familia de Saúl.

30 De Efraín: veinte mil ochocientos hombres valientes, famosos en sus propias familias patriarcales.

31 De la media tribu de Manasés: dieciocho mil hombres que fueron nombrados para ir a proclamar rey a David.

32 De Isacar: doscientos jefes y todos sus parientes bajo sus órdenes. Eran hombres expertos en el conocimiento de los tiempos y sabían lo que Israel tenía que hacer.

33 De Zabulón: cincuenta mil hombres listos para tomar las armas, preparados para usar cualquier clase de armamento y dispuestos a luchar sin cuartel en favor de David.

34 De Neftalí: mil oficiales con treinta y siete mil hombres armados de escudos y lanzas.

35 De Dan: veintiocho mil seiscientos guerreros listos para el combate.

36 De Aser: cuarenta mil hombres listos para el combate.

37 De las tribus al otro lado del Jordán, es decir, de Rubén, Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés: ciento veinte mil hombres equipados con todo tipo de armamento.

38 Todos estos guerreros, preparados para el combate, fueron a Hebrón decididos a proclamar a David como rey de todo Israel.

También los demás israelitas proclamaron de manera unánime a David como rey. 39 Todos se quedaron allí tres días, comiendo y bebiendo con David, ya que sus hermanos les dotaron de lo necesario. 40 Además, los que vivían cerca, y hasta los de Isacar, Zabulón y Neftalí, traían burros, camellos, mulas y bueyes cargados con harina, tortas de higos, pasas, vino y aceite. También les llevaron toros y ovejas en abundancia, porque Israel rebosaba de alegría.

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; 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):

Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 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) Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(E)

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.

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.
