1 Følgende er de, der kom til David i Ziklag, medens han maatte holde sig skjult for Saul, Kisj's Søn. De hørte til Heltene, som hjalp til i Kampen;
Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.
2 de var væbnet med Bue og øvet i Stenkast og Pileskydning baade med højre og venstre Haand; de hørte til Sauls Brødre, Benjaminiterne.
They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.
3 Deres Overhoved var Ahiezer; dernæst Joasj, Sjema'as Søn, fra Gibea, Jeziel og Pelet, Azmavets Sønner, Beraka, Jehu fra Anatot,

And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Af Gaditerne sluttede nogle sig dygtige Krigere, øvede Krigsmænd, væbnet med Skjold og Spyd; de var som Løver at se paa og rappe som Gazellerne paa Bjergene.
And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;
9 Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
Ezer their chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Masjmanna den fjerde, Jirmeja den femte,

14 De var Anførere blandt Gaditerne; den mindste af dem tog det op med hundrede, den største med tusind.
These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 Det var dem, der gik over Jordan i den første Maaned, engang den overalt var gaaet over sine Bredder, og slog alle Dalboerne paa Flugt baade mod Øst og Vest.
It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.
17 David gik ud til dem, tog til Orde og sagde: »Hvis I kommer til mig i fredelig Hensigt, for at hjælpe mig, er jeg af Hjertet rede til at gøre fælles Sag med eder; men er det for at forraade mig til mine Fjender, skønt der ikke er Uret i mine Hænder, da se vore Fædres Gud til og straffe det!«
And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.
18 Saa iførte Aanden sig Amasaj, de tredives Anfører, og han sagde: »For dig, David, og med dig, Isajs Søn! Fred, Fred være med dig, og Fred med dine Hjælpere, thi dig hjælper din Gud!« Da tog David imod dem og satte dem i Spidsen for Krigerskaren.
Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.
19 Af Manasse gik nogle over til David. Det var, dengang han sammen med Filisterne drog i Kamp mod Saul, uden at han dog blev dem til Hjælp, fordi Filisternes Fyrster efter at have holdt Raadslagning sendte ham bort, idet de sagde: »Det koster vore Hoveder, hvis han gaar over til sin Herre Saul!«
And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.
20 Da han saa drog til Ziklag, gik følgende Manassiter over til ham: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elihu og Zilletaj, der var Overhoveder for Slægter i Manasse;
Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.
22 Der kom nemlig daglig Folk til David for at hjælpe ham, saa det til sidst blev en stor Hær, stor som Guds Hær.
And from day to day more supporters came to David, till he had a great army like the army of God.

38 Med helt Hjerte og rede til Kamp kom alle disse Krigere til Hebron for at gøre David til Konge over hele Israel; men ogsaa det øvrige Israel var endrægtigt med til at gøre David til Konge.
All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.
39 De blev der hos David i tre Dage og spiste og drak, thi deres Brødre havde forsynet dem;
For three days they were there with David, feasting at his table, for their brothers had made ready food for them.
40 ogsaa de, der boede i deres Nærhed lige til Issakar, Zebulon og Naftali, bragte dem Levnedsmidler paa Æsler, Kameler, Muldyr og Okser, Fødevarer af Mel, Figenkager, Rosinkager, Vin, Olie, Hornkvæg og Smaakvæg i Mængde; thi der var Glæde i Israel.
