1 Chronicles 12
1 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;
Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,
2 they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa jacientes, et dirigentes sagittas, de fratribus Saul ex Benjamin.
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
Princeps Ahiecer, et Joas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Jaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Jehu Anathotites.
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Jeremias, et Jeheziel, et Johanan, et Jezabad Gaderothites.
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
Et Eluzai, et Jerimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
Elcana, et Jesia, et Azareel, et Joëzer, et Jesbaam de Carehim:
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
Joëla quoque, et Zabadia filii Jeroham de Gedor.
8 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:
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 capreæ in montibus:
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Masmana quartus, Jeremias quintus,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Johanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
Jeremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus præerat, et maximus mille.
15 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.
Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur David.
17 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.”
Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum jungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et judicet.
18 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.
Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai. Pax, pax tibi, et pax adjutoribus tuis: te enim adjuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmæ.
19 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.”)
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 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.
Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Jozabad, et Jedihel, et Michaël, et Ednas, et Jozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes millium in Manasse.
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.
22 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.
Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.
23 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:
Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.
24 From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.
25 From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.
De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.
26 From Levi: 4,600,
De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.
27 including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,
Jojoda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.
28 and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
Sadoc etiam puer egregiæ indolis, et domus patris ejus, principes viginti duo.
29 From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
De filiis autem Benjamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.
30 From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated 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 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad præcipiendum quid facere deberet Israël, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.
33 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.
Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad prælium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
Et de Nephthali, principes mille, et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.
35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
De Dan etiam præparati ad prælium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.
36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.
37 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.
Trans Jordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.
38 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.
Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israël: sed et omnes reliqui ex Israël uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.
39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes: præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.
40 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.
Sed et qui juxta 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 Israël.
