1 Chronicles 12
1 Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,
2 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 relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.
tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa iacientes, et dirigentes sagittas: de fratribus Saul ex Beniamin.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
Princeps Ahiecer, et Ioas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Iaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Iehu Anathotites.
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;
Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Ieremias, et Ieheziel, et Iohanan, et Iezabad Gaderothites.
5 Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;
et Eluzai et Ierimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
Elcana, et Iesia, et Azareel, et Ioezer, et Iesbaam de Carehim:
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Ioela quoque, et Zabadia filii Ieroham de Gedor.
8 Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
Sed et de Gaddi transfugerunt ad David, cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi, et pugnatores optimi, tenentes clypeum et hastam: facies eorum quasi facies leonis, et veloces quasi capreae in montibus:
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Masmana quartus, Ieremias quintus,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Iohanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.
Ieremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.
14 These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus praeerat, et maximus, mille.
15 These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
Isti sunt qui transierunt Iordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.
16 Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
Venerunt autem et de Beniamin, et de Iuda ad praesidium, in quo morabatur David.
17 David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”
Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum iungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et iudicet.
18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus o David, et tecum fili Isai: pax, pax tibi, et pax adiutoribus tuis. te enim adiuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmae.
19 Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthiim adversus Saul, ut pugnaret: et non dimicavit cum eis. quia inito consilio remiserunt eum principes Philisthinorum, dicentes: Periculo capitis nostri revertetur ad dominum suum Saul.
20 As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Iozabad, et Iedihel, et Michael, et Ednas, et Iozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes militum in Manasse.
21 They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains in the army.
hi praebuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.
22 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.
23 These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the LORD’s word.
Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus, qui venerunt ad David, cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, iuxta verbum Domini.
24 The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.
Filii Iuda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad praelium.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.
De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.
26 Of the children of Levi: four thousand six hundred.
De filiis Levi, quattuor millia sexcenti.
27 Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,
Ioioda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.
28 and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.
Sadoc etiam puer egregiae indolis, et domus patris eius, principes viginti duo.
29 Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.
De filiis autem Beniamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.
30 Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.
Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.
31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.
Et ex dimidia tribu Manasse, decem et octo millia, singuli per nomina sua venerunt ut constituerent regem David.
32 Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad praecipiendum quid facere deberet Israel, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.
33 Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.
Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad praelium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.
34 Of Naphtali: one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.
Et de Nephthali, principes mille: et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.
35 Of the Danites who could set the battle in array: twenty-eight thousand six hundred.
De Dan etiam praeparati ad praelium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.
36 Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array: forty thousand.
Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.
37 On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle: one hundred twenty thousand.
Trans Iordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.
38 All these were men of war who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect 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.
Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israel: sed et omnes reliqui ex Israel, uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.
39 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.
Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes. praeparaverant enim eis fratres sui.
40 Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
Sed et qui iuxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar, et Zabulon, et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis, et camelis, et mulis, et bobus ad vescendum: farinam, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, arietes ad omnem copiam. gaudium quippe erat in Israel.
