1 Chronicles 12
1 And these are those that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, confederates for the war,
Or questi son quelli che vennero a Davide a Tsiklag, mentr’egli era ancora fuggiasco per tema di Saul, figliuolo di Kis; essi facean parte dei prodi che gli prestarono aiuto durante la guerra.
2 Who were armed with bows, and could use both the right and the left hand in [hurling] stones and shooting arrows with the bow, even of the brethren of Saul out of Benjamin.
Erano armati d’arco, abili a scagliar sassi ed a tirar frecce tanto con la destra quanto con la sinistra; erano della tribù di Beniamino, de’ fratelli di Saul.
3 The chiefs were Achi'ezer, then Joash, the sons of Hashema'ab the Gib'athite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of 'Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the 'Anthothite,

8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the strong-hold in the wilderness mighty men of valor, and men of the army for the war, that could handle shield and lance, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as the roebucks upon the mountains in swiftness.
Fra i Gaditi degli uomini partirono per recarsi da Davide nella fortezza del deserto: erano uomini forti e valorosi, esercitati alla guerra, che sapevan maneggiare scudo e lancia: dalle facce leonine, e veloci come gazzelle sui monti.
9 'Ezer was the chief, 'Ohadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Ezer era il capo; Obadia, il secondo; Eliab, il terzo;
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth.

14 These were of the sons of Gad, the chiefs of the army, one of the least could fight with a hundred, and the greatest with a thousand.
Questi erano dei figliuoli di Gad, capi dell’esercito; il minimo tenea fronte a cento; il maggiore, a mille.
15 These are those that passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all the men of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
Questi son quelli che passarono il Giordano il primo mese quand’era straripato da per tutto, e misero in fuga tutti gli abitanti delle valli, a oriente e ad occidente.
16 And there came some of the children of Benjamin and of Judah as far as the strong-hold unto David.
Anche dei figliuoli di Beniamino e di Giuda vennero a Davide, nella fortezza.
17 And David went out to meet them, and commenced and said unto them. If ye be come for peace unto me, to help me, my heart shall be inclined toward you to unite with you; but if it be to betray me to my adversaries while there is no violence in my hands, then may the God of our fathers look on and decide it.
Davide uscì loro incontro, e si rivolse a loro, dicendo: “Se venite da me con buon fine per soccorrermi, il mio cuore sarà unito col vostro; ma se venite per tradirmi e darmi nelle mani de’ miei avversari, mentre io non commetto alcuna violenza, l’Iddio dei nostri padri lo vegga, e faccia egli giustizia!”
18 Then a spirit invested 'Amassai, the chief of the captains, [who said, ] Thine are we, David, and with thee, O son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to every one that helpeth thee; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and placed them at the head of the troop.
Allora lo spirito investì Amasai, capo dei trenta, che esclamò: “Noi siamo tuoi, o Davide; e siam con te, o figliuolo d’Isai! Pace, pace a te, e pace a quei che ti soccorrono, poiché il tuo Dio ti soccorre!” Allora Davide li accolse, e li fece capi delle sue schiere.
19 And some of Menasseh went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but he helped them not; for upon consultation did the lords of the Philistines send him away, saying, With our heads will he go over to his master Saul.
Anche degli uomini di Manasse passarono a Davide, quando questi andò coi Filistei a combattere contro Saul; ma Davide e i suoi uomini non furono d’alcun aiuto ai Filistei; giacché i principi dei Filistei, dopo essersi consultati, rimandarono Davide, dicendo: “Egli passerebbe dalla parte del suo signore Saul, a prezzo delle nostre teste”.
20 As he was going over to Ziklag, there went over to him of Menasseh, 'Adnach, and Jozabad, and Jedi'ael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands that belonged to Menasseh.
Quand’egli tornò a Tsiklag, questi furon quelli di Manasse, che passarono a lui: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Elihu, Tsilletai, capi di migliaia nella tribù di Manasse.
21 And they were those that helped David against the band [of 'Amelekites]; for they were all mighty men of valor, and they became officers in the army.
Questi uomini diedero aiuto a Davide contro le bande dei predoni, perché erano tutti uomini forti e valorosi; e furon fatti capi nell’esercito.
22 For all the time, day by day, people used to come to David to help him, until the camp became great, like the camp of God.
E ogni giorno veniva gente a Davide per soccorrerlo: tanta, che se ne formò un esercito grande come un esercito di Dio.
23 And these are the numbers of the heads of those ready armed for the host that came to David to Hebron, to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the order of the Lord.
Questo è il numero degli uomini armati per la guerra, che si recarono da Davide a Hebron per trasferire a lui la potestà reale di Saul, secondo l’ordine dell’Eterno.

E di là dal Giordano, dei Rubeniti, dei Gaditi e della mezza tribù di Manasse, forniti per il combattimento di tutte le armi da guerra, centoventimila.
38 All these men of war, that placed themselves in battle array, came with an entire heart to Hebron, to make David King over all Israel; and also all the rest of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
Tutti questi uomini, gente di guerra, pronti a ordinarsi in battaglia, giunsero a Hebron, con sincerità di cuore, per proclamare Davide re sopra tutto Israele; e anche tutto il rimanente d’Israele era unanime per fare re Davide.
39 And they were there with David three days eating and drinking; for their brethren had prepared for them.
Essi rimasero quivi tre giorni con Davide a mangiare e a bere, perché i loro fratelli avean preparato per essi dei viveri.
40 And also those that were nigh unto them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought in bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food made of meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
E anche quelli ch’eran loro vicini, e perfino gente da Issacar, da Zabulon e da Neftali, portavan dei viveri sopra asini, sopra cammelli, sopra muli e su buoi: farina, fichi secchi, uva secca, vino, olio, buoi e pecore in abbondanza; perché v’era gioia in Israele.
