From 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.

١٤ 14 هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي جَادَ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجَيْشِ. صَغِيرُهُمْ لِمِئَةٍ، وَٱلْكَبِيرُ لِأَلْفٍ.

These 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.

١٥ 15 هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِئٌ إِلَى جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ وَهَزَمُوا كُلَّ أَهْلِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ شَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا.

These 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.

١٦ 16 وَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ وَيَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ.

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

١٧ 17 فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ وَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَيَّ لِتُسَاعِدُونِي، يَكُونُ لِي مَعَكُمْ قَلْبٌ وَاحِدٌ. وَإِنْ كَانَ لِكَيْ تَدْفَعُونِي لِعَدُوِّي وَلَا ظُلْمَ فِي يَدَيَّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَهُ آبَائِنَا وَيُنْصِفْ».

And 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.

١٨ 18 فَحَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ عَلَى عَمَاسَايَ رَأْسِ ٱلثَّوَالِثِ فَقَالَ: «لَكَ نَحْنُ يَا دَاوُدُ، وَمَعَكَ نَحْنُ يَا ٱبْنَ يَسَّى. سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلَامٌ لِمُسَاعِدِيكَ. لِأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ مُعِينُكَ». فَقَبِلَهُمْ دَاوُدُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤُوسَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ.

But 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.

١٩ 19 وَسَقَطَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بَعْضٌ مِنْ مَنَسَّى حِينَ جَاءَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ضِدَّ شَاوُلَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَلَمْ يُسَاعِدُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّ أَقْطَابَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ بِمَشُورَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّمَا بِرُؤُوسِنَا يَسْقُطُ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ شَاوُلَ».

And 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.

٢٠ 20 حِينَ ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ سَقَطَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَنَسَّى عَدْنَاحُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَأَلِيهُو وَصِلْتَايُ رُؤُوسُ أُلُوفِ مَنَسَّى.

So 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.

٢١ 21 وَهُمْ سَاعَدُوا دَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلْغُزَاةِ لِأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ، وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ.

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

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتَئِذٍ أَتَى أُنَاسٌ إِلَى دَاوُدَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا لِمُسَاعَدَتِهِ حَتَّى صَارُوا جَيْشًا عَظِيمًا كَجَيْشِ ٱللهِ.

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

٢٣ 23 وَهَذَا عَدَدُ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدِينَ لِلْقِتَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُحَوِّلُوا مَمْلَكَةَ شَاوُلَ إِلَيْهِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And 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.

٢٤ 24 بَنُو يَهُوذَا حَامِلُو ٱلْأَتْرَاسِ وَٱلرِّمَاحِ سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَثَمَانِ مِئَةِ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْقِتَالِ.
