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;
And these are those 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, confederates for the 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.
Who were armed with bows, and could use both the right and the left hand in [hurling] stones and shooting arrows with the bow, even of the brethren of Saul out of Benjamin.

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 of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the strong-hold in the wilderness mighty men of valor, and men of the army for the war, that could handle shield and lance, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as the roebucks upon the mountains in swiftness.

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.
These are those that passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all the men of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
And there came some of the children of Benjamin and of Judah as far as the strong-hold unto David.
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 meet them, and commenced and said unto them. If ye be come for peace unto me, to help me, my heart shall be inclined toward you to unite with you; but if it be to betray me to my adversaries while there is no violence in my hands, then may the God of our fathers look on and decide it.
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 a spirit invested 'Amassai, the chief of the captains, [who said, ] Thine are we, David, and with thee, O son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to every one that helpeth thee; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and placed them at the head of the troop.
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 Menasseh went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but he helped them not; for upon consultation did the lords of the Philistines send him away, saying, With our heads will he go over to his master Saul.
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;
As he was going over to Ziklag, there went over to him of Menasseh, 'Adnach, and Jozabad, and Jedi'ael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands that belonged to Menasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
And they were those that helped David against the band [of 'Amelekites]; for they were all mighty men of valor, and they became officers 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.
For all the time, day by day, people used to come to David to help him, until the camp became great, like the camp of God.

All these men of war, that placed themselves in battle array, came with an entire heart to Hebron, to make David King over all Israel; and also all the rest of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

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