Første Krønikebog 12
1 Følgende er de, der kom til David i Ziklag, medens han måtte holde sig skjult for Saul, Kisj's Søn. De hørte til Heltene, som hjalp til i Kampen;
Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle;
2 de var væbnet med Bue og øvet i Stenkast og Pileskydning både med højre og venstre Hånd; de hørte til Sauls Brødre, Benjaminiterne.
they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
3 Deres Overhoved var Ahiezer; dernæst Joasj, Sjema'as Søn, fra Gibea, Jeziel og Pelet, Azmavets Sønner, Beraka, Jehu fra Anatot,
Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
4 Jisjmaja fra Gibeon, en Helt blandt de tredive og Høvedsmand over de tredive, Jirme'ja, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad fra Gedera,
Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 El'uzaj, Jerimot, Bealja, Sjemarja, Sjefatja fra Harif,
Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 Elkana, Jissjija, Azar'el, Jo'ezer og Jasjobam, Koraiterne,
Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
7 Joela og Zebadja, Sønner af Jeroham fra Gedor.
and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
8 Af Gaditerne slutfede nogle sig dygtige Krigere, øvede Krigsmænd, væbnet med Skjold og Spyd; de var som Løver at se på og rappe som Gazellerne på Bjergene.
Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
9 Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Masjmanna den fjerde, Jirmeja den femte,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attaj den sjette, Eliel den syvende,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan den ottende, Elzabad den niende,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jirmeja den tiende, Makbannaj den ellevte.
Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
14 De var Anførere blandt Gaditerne; den mindste af dem tog det op med hundrede, den største med tusind.
These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
15 Det var dem, der gik over Jordan i den første Måned, engang den overalt var gået over sine Bredder, og slog alle Dalboerne på Flugt både mod Øst og Vest.
These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.
16 Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
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 forråde 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, saying, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you.”
18 Så iførte Ånden 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 upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.
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 Rådslagning sendte ham bort, idet de sagde: "Det koster vore Hoveder, hvis han går over til sin Herre Saul!"
Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)
20 Da han så drog til Ziklag, gik følgende Manassiter over til ham: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elibu og Zilletaj, der var Overhoveder for Slægter i Manasse;
When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
22 Der kom nemlig daglig Folk til David for at hjælpe ham, så det til sidst blev en stor Hær, stor som Guds Hær.
For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
23 Følgende er Tallene på Førerne for de væbnede Krigere, der kom til David i Hebron for at gøre ham til Konge i Sauls Sted efter HERRENs Bud:
Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:
24 Af Judæere, der har Skjold og Spyd, 6800 væbnede Krigere;

and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
29 af Benjaminiterne, Sauls Brødre, 3000, men de fleste af dem holdt endnu fast ved Sauls Hus;
From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.

From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
32 af Issakariterne, der forstod sig på Tiderne, så de skønnede, hvad Israel havde at gøre, 200 Førere og alle deres Brødre, der stod under dem;
From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
33 af Zebulon 50.000, øvede Krigere, udrustet med alle Hånde Våben, med een Vilje rede til Kamp;
From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.
34 af Naftali 1.000 Førere, fulgt af 37.000 Mænd med Skjold og Spyd;

And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.
38 Med helt Hjerte og rede til Kamp kom alle disse Krigere til Hebron for at gøre David til Konge over hele Israel; men også det øvrige Israel var endrægtigt med til at gøre David til Konge.
All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
39 De blev der hos David i tre Dage og spiste og drak, thi deres Brødre havde forsynet dem;
They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
40 også de, der boede i deres Nærhed lige til Issakar, Zebulon og Naftali, bragte dem Levnedsmidler på Æsler, Kameler, Muldyr og Okser, Fødevarer af Mel, Figenkar, Rosinkager, Vin, Olie, Hornkvæg og Småkvæg i Mængde; thi der var Glæde i Israel.
And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.
