8 Some warriors from the tribe of Gad went over to David's side when he was at the stronghold in the desert. They were strong and experienced warriors, battle-hardened, experts in the use of shields and spears. Their faces looked as fierce as lions, and they ran as fast as gazelles in the mountains.

15 These were ones who crossed the Jordan River in the first month of the year when it overflows its banks. They chased out all the people living in the valley, both to the east and to the west.
Amih rhoek he tah tuikaeng langdai pum te tui a li vaengkah lamhma cuek hla ah Jordan te kat uh. Te vaengah tuikol pum te khocuk la, khotlak la yong uh.
16 Some others from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah also came to join David at the stronghold.
Benjamin neh Judah koca rhoek lamkah khaw, rhalmahim kah David taengla pawk uh.
17 David went out to meet them and told them, “If you've come in peace to help me, we can be friends. But if you've come to betray me to my enemies, even though I've done no wrong, then may the God of our fathers see what you're doing and condemn you.”
David te amih mikhmuh la mop tih a doo. Te vaengah amih te, “Rhoepnah neh kai bom hamla kai taengah na pawk uh atah kai khaw nangmih taengah thinko thikat la om bitni.

18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty. “We are yours, David, and we are with you, son of Jesse! May peace, prosperity, and success be yours and those who help you, for God is the one who is helping you.” So David allowed them to join him, and put them in charge of his bands of raiders.

19 Others came over to David's side from the tribe of Manasseh and joined him when he went with Philistines to attack Saul. However, the Philistine rulers eventually decided to send them away, saying to themselves, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts us and goes over to his master Saul.”
Saul te caemtloek thil ham Philisti neh a paan vaengah Manasseh lamkah khaw David taengla cungku uh. Tedae Philisti boei rhoek loh anih te cilsuep hnukah a tueih uh tih, “A boei rhoek taengla Saul a cungku atah kaimih lu ah tla saeh,” a ti nah dongah amih te bom uh pawh.

23 This is a list of the numbers of armed warriors who came and joined David in Hebron to turn over Saul's kingdom to him, as the Lord had said.
