1 David went to Ziklag [town] to escape from [King] Saul. While he was there, many warriors came and joined him, and they helped him when he fought battles.

2 They carried bows [and arrows]. They were able to shoot arrows and to sling stones. They could use either their right arms or their left arms to do that. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
Todos ellos eran hábiles arqueros, y podían disparar flechas o hondas con la mano derecha o con la izquierda. Eran parientes de Saúl de la tribu de Benjamín.

8 Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert. They were brave warriors who were trained for fighting battles and able to use shields and spears well. They [SYN] were as fierce as [SIM, MTY] lions, and they could run as fast as [HYP, SIM] deer/gazelles on the hills/mountains.
Algunos guerreros de la tribu de Gad se pasaron al lado de David cuando éste estaba en la fortaleza del desierto. Eran guerreros fuertes y experimentados, curtidos en la batalla, expertos en el uso de escudos y lanzas. Sus rostros parecían tan fieros como los de los leones, y corrían tan rápido como las gacelas en las montañas.
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.

13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.

14 Those men from the tribe of Gad were all army officers. Some of them commanded 1,000 soldiers, and some of them commanded 100 soldiers.
Estos guerreros de Gad eran oficiales del ejército. El menos hábil de ellos estaba a cargo de 100 hombres; y el mejor estaba a cargo de 1.000.
15 They crossed [to the west side of] the Jordan [River] during March, [at the time of the year] when the river was flooded. They chased from there all the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
Estos eran los que cruzaban el río Jordán en el primer mes del año, cuando se desborda. Expulsaron a todos los pueblos que vivían en el valle, tanto al este como al oeste.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Otros de las tribus de Benjamín y Judá también vinieron a unirse a David en la fortaleza.
17 David went out [of the cave] to meet them and said to them, “If you have come peacefully to help me, I am eager to have you join with me. But if you have come to enable my enemies to capture me, even though I [SYN] have not done anything to harm you, I hope/wish that the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/belonged to) will see it and condemn/punish you.”
David salió a recibirlos y les dijo: “Si han venido en son de paz para ayudarme, podemos ser amigos. Pero si han venido a entregarme a mis enemigos, aunque no he hecho nada malo, que el Dios de nuestros padres vea lo que hacen y los condene”.
18 Then [God’s] Spirit came upon Amasai, who was another leader of the thirty [greatest warriors], and he said, “David, we want to be with you; you who are the son of Jesse, we will join you. We know that things will go very well [DOU] for you and for those who are with you, because your God is helping you.”
Entonces el Espíritu vino sobre Amasai, el líder de los Treinta. “¡Somos tuyos, David, y estamos contigo, hijo de Isaí! Que la paz, la prosperidad y el éxito sean tuyos y de los que te ayuden, porque Dios es el que te ayuda”. Así que David les permitió unirse a él, y los puso al frente de su ejército.
19 So David welcomed those men, and he appointed them to be leaders of his soldiers. Some men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David when he went with the soldiers of Philistia to fight against Saul’s [army]. But David and his men did not really help the army of Philistia. After the leaders of Philistia talked [about David and his soldiers], they sent David away. They said, “If David joins his master Saul again, we will all be killed {his army will kill all of us}!”
Otros se pasaron al lado de David desde la tribu de Manasés y se unieron a él cuando fue con los filisteos a atacar a Saúl. Sin embargo, los jefes filisteos decidieron finalmente despedirlos, diciéndose: “Nos costará la cabeza si nos abandona y se une a su amo Saúl”.
20 When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
La siguiente es una lista de los hombres de Manasés que se pasaron al lado de David cuando éste regresó a Siclag: Adnas, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Eliú y Ziletai, jefes de millares en la tribu de Manasés.
21 They were all brave soldiers, and they helped David to fight against the groups of men who roamed throughout the country, robbing people. So those men became commanders in David’s army.
Ellos ayudaron a David contra los asaltantes, pues todos eran guerreros fuertes y experimentados y comandantes del ejército.
22 Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
Cada día llegaban hombres para ayudar a David, hasta que tuvo un gran ejército, como el ejército de Dios.
23 These are the numbers of soldiers who were ready for battle who joined David at Hebron [city]. They came to help him to become the king of Israel to replace Saul, as Yahweh had promised would happen.

Todos estos hombres llegaron a Hebrón vestidos para la batalla, completamente decididos a hacer rey a David. Todo Israel estaba de acuerdo en que David debía ser rey.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Se quedaron allí tres días, comiendo y bebiendo juntos, pues sus parientes les habían proporcionado provisiones.
40 Also, their fellow Israelis came from as far away as the area where the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali lived, bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought a lot of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, [olive] oil, cattle and sheep. And throughout Israel, the people were very joyful.
Sus vecinos, incluso de lugares tan lejanos como Isacar, Zabulón y Neftalí, llegaron trayendo comida en burros, camellos, mulas y bueyes. Tenían mucha harina, tortas de higos, racimos de pasas, vino, aceite de oliva, ganado y ovejas, porque Israel estaba muy contento.
