Første Krønikebog 12
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;
These were the men who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish. They were among the soldiers, his helpers in battle.
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 could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were Benjamites, Saul's fellow tribesmen.

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.
Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were fighting men, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were as fierce as the faces of lions. They were as swift as gazelles on the mountains.
9 Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
There were Ezer the leader, 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 sons of Gad were leaders of the army. The least led a hundred, and the greatest led 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.
They crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it overflowed its banks, and chased away all those living in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
16 Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
Some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to 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!«
David went out to meet them and addressed them: “If you have come in peace to me to help me, you may join me. But if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, may the God of our ancestors see and rebuke you, since I have done no wrong.”
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 thirty. Amasai said, “We are yours, David. We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace, may peace be to whoever helps you. May peace be to your helpers, for your God is helping you.” Then David received them and made them commanders over his men.
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!«
Some from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle. Yet they did not help the Philistines, because the Philistine lords consulted with each other and sent David away. They said, “He will desert to his master Saul at the risk 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;
When he went to Ziklag, the men of Manasseh who joined him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains over thousands of Manasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
They helped David fight against the roving bands, for they were fighting men. Later they became commanders 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.
Day after day, men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.

All these soldiers, equipped for battle, came to Hebron with firm intentions to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of Israel were in agreement to make David king also.

They were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their relatives had sent them with provisions.
