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 are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he was yet shut up because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
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 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 of Saul's brethren 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 the troop.
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.
And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valour, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third;
10 Masjmanna den fjerde, Jirmeja den femte,
Mashmannah 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,

13 Jirmeja den tiende, Makbannaj den ellevte.

14 De var Anførere blandt Gaditerne; den mindste af dem tog det op med hundrede, den største med tusind.
These of the sons of Gad were captains of the host; he that was least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to 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 they that went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all its banks; and they put to flight all them 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 of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold 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 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, and answered and said unto them: 'If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye be come to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and give judgment.'
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 clothed Amasai, who was chief of the captains: Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse; peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, 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 Rådslagning sendte ham bort, idet de sagde: "Det koster vore Hoveder, hvis han går over til sin Herre Saul!"
Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying: 'He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.'
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;
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
And they helped David against the troop, for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
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 from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great host, like the host 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:

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, being men of war, that could order the battle array, came with a whole heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 De blev der hos David i tre Dage og spiste og drak, thi deres Brødre havde forsynet dem;
And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation 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.
