Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert.

15 Disse ere de, som gik over Jordanen i den første Maaned, da den var fuld over alle sine Bredder; og de dreve alle Dalenes Indbyggere paa Flugt imod Østen og imod Vesten.
They crossed [to the west side of] the Jordan [River] during March, [at the time of the year] when the river was flooded. They chased from there all the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
16 Der kom og af Benjamins og Judas Børn til Befæstningen til David.
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 Og David gik ud til dem og svarede og sagde til dem: Dersom I komme med Fred til mig for at hjælpe mig, da skal mit Hjerte være forenet med eder; men dersom I komme for at bedrage mig og overgive mig til mine Fjender, enddog der ingen Uret er i mine Hænder, da se vore Fædres Gud til og straffe det!
David went out [of the cave] to meet them and said to them, “If you have come peacefully to help me, I am eager to have you join with me. But if you have come to enable my enemies to capture me, even though I [SYN] have not done anything to harm you, I hope/wish that the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/belonged to) will see it and condemn/punish you.”
18 Og Aanden iførte sig Amasaj, den øverste af Høvedsmændene, og han sagde: Dig, David, tilhøre vi, og med dig, du Isajs Søn, ere vi; Fred, ja Fred være med dig og Fred med dem, som hjælpe dig! thi din Gud hjælper dig. Da tog David imod dem og satte dem til Øverster for Troppen.
Then [God’s] Spirit came upon Amasai, who was another leader of the thirty [greatest warriors], and he said, “David, we want to be with you; you who are the son of Jesse, we will join you. We know that things will go very well [DOU] for you and for those who are with you, because your God is helping you.”
19 Og af Manasse vare nogle gaaede over til David, der han kom med Filisterne imod Saul til Krig, dog uden at hjælpe dem; thi Filisternes Fyrster lode ham fare efter en Raadslagning og sagde: Om han gik over til sin Herre Saul, maatte det koste os vore Hoveder.
So David welcomed those men, and he appointed them to be leaders of his soldiers. Some men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David when he went with the soldiers of Philistia to fight against Saul’s [army]. But David and his men did not really help the army of Philistia. After the leaders of Philistia talked [about David and his soldiers], they sent David away. They said, “If David joins his master Saul again, we will all be killed {his army will kill all of us}!”
20 Der han drog til Ziklag, gik over til ham af Manasse: Adna og Josabad og Jediael og Mikael og Josabad og Elihu og Zilthaj, Øverster over de tusinde, som hørte til Manasse.
When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
21 Og de hjalp David imod Krigsfolkene, thi de vare alle vældige til Strid, og de bleve Høvedsmænd for Hæren.
They were all brave soldiers, and they helped David to fight against the groups of men who roamed throughout the country, robbing people. So those men became commanders in David’s army.
22 Thi der kom til den Tid daglig nogle til David for at hjælpe ham, indtil det blev til en stor Lejr, som Guds Lejr.
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
23 Og dette er Tallet paa de Øverster over dem, som vare bevæbnede til Striden, de, som kom til David i Hebron for at skaffe ham Sauls Rige efter Herrens Mund:
