1 Chronicles 12
1 The following is a list of the men who joined David when he was at Ziklag, still hiding from Saul, son of Kish. They were some of the leading warriors who fought on David's side.
καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς Σωκλαγ ἔτι συνεχομένου ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαουλ υἱοῦ Κις καὶ οὗτοι ἐν τοῖς δυνατοῖς βοηθοῦντες ἐν πολέμῳ
2 They were all skilled archers, and could shoot arrows or slingshots with their right or their left hands. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
καὶ τόξῳ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καὶ σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις καὶ τόξοις ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαουλ ἐκ Βενιαμιν
3 Ahiezer was their leader, then Joash; the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
ὁ ἄρχων Αχιεζερ καὶ Ιωας υἱὸς Ασμα τοῦ Γεβωθίτου καὶ Ιωηλ καὶ Ιωφαλητ υἱοὶ Ασμωθ καὶ Βερχια καὶ Ιηουλ ὁ Αναθωθι
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, (a strong warrior among the Thirty, and leader over the Thirty); Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;
καὶ Σαμαιας ὁ Γαβαωνίτης δυνατὸς ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν τριάκοντα Ιερμιας καὶ Ιεζιηλ καὶ Ιωαναν καὶ Ιωζαβαδ ὁ Γαδαραθι
5 Eluzai; Jerimoth; Bealiah; Shemariah; Shephatiah the Haruphite;
Ελιαζαι καὶ Ιαριμουθ καὶ Βααλια καὶ Σαμαρια καὶ Σαφατια ὁ Χαραιφι
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam (they were Korahites);
Ηλκανα καὶ Ιησουνι καὶ Οζριηλ καὶ Ιωαζαρ καὶ Ιεσβοαμ οἱ Κορῖται
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
καὶ Ελια καὶ Ζαβαδια υἱοὶ Ιρααμ υἱοὶ τοῦ γεδωρ
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.
καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαδδι ἐχωρίσθησαν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου ἰσχυροὶ δυνατοὶ ἄνδρες παρατάξεως πολέμου αἴροντες θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα καὶ πρόσωπον λέοντος πρόσωπα αὐτῶν καὶ κοῦφοι ὡς δορκάδες ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τῷ τάχει
9 Ezer the was the leader, Obadiah (second), Eliab (third),
Αζερ ὁ ἄρχων Αβδια ὁ δεύτερος Ελιαβ ὁ τρίτος
10 Mishmannah (fourth), Jeremiah (fifth),
Μασεμαννη ὁ τέταρτος Ιερμια ὁ πέμπτος
11 Attai (sixth), Eliel (seventh),
Εθθι ὁ ἕκτος Ελιαβ ὁ ἕβδομος
12 Johanan (eighth), Elzabad (ninth),
Ιωαναν ὁ ὄγδοος Ελιαζερ ὁ ἔνατος
13 Jeremiah (tenth), Machbannai (eleventh).
Ιερμια ὁ δέκατος Μαχαβανναι ὁ ἑνδέκατος
14 These warriors from Gad were army officers. The least able of them was in charge of 100 men; the best was in charge of 1,000.
οὗτοι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Γαδ ἄρχοντες τῆς στρατιᾶς εἷς τοῖς ἑκατὸν μικρὸς καὶ μέγας τοῖς χιλίοις
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.
οὗτοι οἱ διαβάντες τὸν Ιορδάνην ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ καὶ οὗτος πεπληρωκὼς ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κρηπῖδα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξεδίωξαν πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐλῶνας ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν
16 Some others from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah also came to join David at the stronghold.
καὶ ἦλθον ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν καὶ Ιουδα εἰς βοήθειαν τοῦ Δαυιδ
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.”
καὶ Δαυιδ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην ἥκατε πρός με εἴη μοι καρδία καθ’ ἑαυτὴν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ εἰ τοῦ παραδοῦναί με τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου οὐκ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ χειρός ἴδοι ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ ἐλέγξαιτο
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.
καὶ πνεῦμα ἐνέδυσε τὸν Αμασαι ἄρχοντα τῶν τριάκοντα καὶ εἶπεν πορεύου καὶ ὁ λαός σου Δαυιδ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι εἰρήνη εἰρήνη σοι καὶ εἰρήνη τοῖς βοηθοῖς σου ὅτι ἐβοήθησέν σοι ὁ θεός σου καὶ προσεδέξατο αὐτοὺς Δαυιδ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων
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.”
καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασση προσεχώρησαν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐπὶ Σαουλ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ οὐκ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐν βουλῇ ἐγένετο παρὰ τῶν στρατηγῶν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων λεγόντων ἐν ταῖς κεφαλαῖς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων ἐπιστρέψει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ Σαουλ
20 The following is a list of the men from Manasseh who went over to David's side as he returned to Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς Σωκλαγ προσεχώρησαν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ Μανασση Εδνα καὶ Ιωζαβαθ καὶ Ιωδιηλ καὶ Μιχαηλ καὶ Ιωσαβεθ καὶ Ελιμουθ καὶ Σελαθι ἀρχηγοὶ χιλιάδων εἰσὶν τοῦ Μανασση
21 They helped David against raiders for they were all strong and experienced warriors and commanders in the army.
καὶ αὐτοὶ συνεμάχησαν τῷ Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὸν γεδδουρ ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος πάντες καὶ ἦσαν ἡγούμενοι ἐν τῇ στρατιᾷ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει
22 Men arrived daily to help David until he had a large army, like the army of God.
ὅτι ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἤρχοντο πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς δύναμιν μεγάλην ὡς δύναμις θεοῦ
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.
καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀρχόντων τῆς στρατιᾶς οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς Χεβρων τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν Σαουλ πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον κυρίου

τῶν υἱῶν Λευι τετρακισχίλιοι ἑξακόσιοι
27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, and with him 3,700,
καὶ Ιωαδαε ὁ ἡγούμενος τῷ Ααρων καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι
28 and Zadok, a strong young warrior, with 22 members of his family, all officers.
καὶ Σαδωκ νέος δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καὶ τῆς πατρικῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντες εἴκοσι δύο
29 From the tribe of Benjamin, from among Saul's relatives, 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul up until this time.
καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαουλ τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἔτι τὸ πλεῖστον αὐτῶν ἀπεσκόπει τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου Σαουλ
30 From the tribe of Ephraim, 20,800 strong warriors, each highly regarded in his own clan.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Εφραιμ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύι ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοὶ κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh, 18,000 men were designated by name to come and make David king.
καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασση δέκα ὀκτὼ χιλιάδες οἳ ὠνομάσθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυιδ
32 From the tribe of Issachar came leaders who knew and could understand the signs of the times and what Israel should do—a total of 200 leaders of the tribe together with their relatives.
καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισσαχαρ γινώσκοντες σύνεσιν εἰς τοὺς καιρούς γινώσκοντες τί ποιήσαι Ισραηλ εἰς τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν διακόσιοι καὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν μετ’ αὐτῶν
33 From the tribe of Zebulun, 50,000 warriors. They were fully armed and battle-ready, and totally dedicated.
καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλων ἐκπορευόμενοι εἰς παράταξιν πολέμου ἐν πᾶσιν σκεύεσιν πολεμικοῖς πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες βοηθῆσαι τῷ Δαυιδ οὐχ ἑτεροκλινῶς
34 From the tribe of Naphtali, 1,000 officers and 37,000 warriors carrying shields and spears.

38 All these men came to Hebron dressed for battle, completely committed to making David king. All of Israel agreed that David should become king.
πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ παρατασσόμενοι παράταξιν ἐν ψυχῇ εἰρηνικῇ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Χεβρων τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυιδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ κατάλοιπος Ισραηλ ψυχὴ μία τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυιδ
39 They stayed three days there, eating and drinking together, for their relatives had provided them with supplies.
καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες ὅτι ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν
40 Their neighbors, even as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, arrived bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They had plenty of flour, fig cakes, bunches of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, and sheep, for Israel was so happy.
καὶ οἱ ὁμοροῦντες αὐτοῖς ἕως Ισσαχαρ καὶ Ζαβουλων καὶ Νεφθαλι ἔφερον αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων καὶ τῶν ὄνων καὶ τῶν ἡμιόνων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν μόσχων βρώματα ἄλευρα παλάθας σταφίδας οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ισραηλ
