1Now these are they that came to David to Siceleg, while he yet fled from Saul the son of Cia, and they were most valiant and excellent warriors,

2Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin.

3The chief was Ahiezer, and Joas, the sons of Samaa of Gabaath, and Jaziel, and Phallet the sons of Azmoth, and Beracha, and Jehu an Anathothite.

4And Samaias of Gabaon, the stoutest amongst the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremias, and Jeheziel, and Johanan, and Jezabad of Gaderoth;

5And Eluzai, and Jerimuth, and Baalia, and Samaria, and Saphatia the Haruphite;

6Elcana, and Jesia, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jesbaam of Carehim:

7And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

8From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roebucks on the mountains.

9Ezer the chief, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,

10Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth.

11Ethi the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12Johanan the eighth, Elzebad the ninth,

13Jerenias the tenth, Machbani the eleventh,

14These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over a thousand.

15These are they who passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is used to how over its banks: and they put to flight all that dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward the west.

16And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.

17And David went out to meet them, and said: If you are come peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands, let the God of our fathers see, and judge.

18But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.

19And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master Saul.

20So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.

21These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.

22Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.

23And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to the word of the Lord.

24The sons of Juda bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred well appointed to war.

25Of the sons of Simeon valiant men for war, seven thousand one hundred.

26Of the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred.

27And Joiada prince of the race of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred.

28Sadoc also a young man of excellent disposition, and the house of his father, twenty-two principal men.

29And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul.

30And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of great valour renowned in their kindreds.

31And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one by their names, came to make David king.

32Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all the rest of the tribe followed their counsel.

33And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his aid, with no double heart.

34And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear.

35Of Dan also twenty-eight thousand six hundred prepared for battle.

36And of Aser forty thousand going forth to fight, and challenging in battle.

37And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty thousand, furnished with arms for war.

38All these men of war well appointed to fight, 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.

39And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

40Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought leaves on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.

1Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,

2tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa jacientes, et dirigentes sagittas, de fratribus Saul ex Benjamin.

3Princeps Ahiecer, et Joas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Jaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Jehu Anathotites.

4Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Jeremias, et Jeheziel, et Johanan, et Jezabad Gaderothites.

5Et Eluzai, et Jerimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.

6Elcana, et Jesia, et Azareel, et Joëzer, et Jesbaam de Carehim:

7Joëla quoque, et Zabadia filii Jeroham de Gedor.

8Sed et de Gaddi transfugerunt ad David cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi, et pugnatores optimi, tenentes clypeum et hastam: facies eorum quasi facies leonis, et veloces quasi capreæ in montibus:

9Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,

10Masmana quartus, Jeremias quintus,

11Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,

12Johanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,

13Jeremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.

14Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus præerat, et maximus mille.

15Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.

16Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur David.

17Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum jungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et judicet.

18Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai. Pax, pax tibi, et pax adjutoribus tuis: te enim adjuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmæ.

19Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthiim adversus Saul ut pugnaret: et non dimicavit cum eis, quia inito consilio remiserunt eum principes Philisthinorum, dicentes: Periculo capitis nostri revertetur ad dominum suum Saul.

20Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Jozabad, et Jedihel, et Michaël, et Ednas, et Jozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes millium in Manasse.

21Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.

22Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.

23Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.

24Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.

25De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.

26De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.

27Jojoda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.

28Sadoc etiam puer egregiæ indolis, et domus patris ejus, principes viginti duo.

29De filiis autem Benjamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.

30Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.

31Et ex dimidia tribu Manasse, decem et octo millia, singuli per nomina sua, venerunt ut constituerent regem David.

32De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad præcipiendum quid facere deberet Israël, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.

33Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad prælium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.

34Et de Nephthali, principes mille, et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.

35De Dan etiam præparati ad prælium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.

36Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.

37Trans Jordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.

38Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israël: sed et omnes reliqui ex Israël uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.

39Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes: præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.

40Sed et qui juxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar, et Zabulon, et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis, et camelis, et mulis, et bobus ad vescendum: farinam, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, arietes ad omnem copiam: gaudium quippe erat in Israël.

1Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,

2bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:

3the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.

4Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;

5and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;

6Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;

7and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.

8Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.

9Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.

15These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.

16Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.

17And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”

18Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.

19Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”

20And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.

21These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.

22Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.

23Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:

24the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;

25from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;

26from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;

27as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;

28and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;

29and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.

30Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.

31And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.

32Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.

33Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.

34And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.

35And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.

36And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.

37Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.

38All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.

39And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.

40Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
