1 Chronicles 12
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.
Estos son los que vinieron a David a Siclag cuando estaba fugitivo de Saúl, hijo de Cis. Estaban entre los hombres poderosos, sus ayudantes en la guerra.
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.
Estaban armados con arcos, y podían usar tanto la mano derecha como la izquierda para lanzar piedras y tirar flechas con el arco. Eran de los parientes de Saúl de la tribu de Benjamín.
3 Their leader was Ahiezer. Next in command was Joash. They were both sons of Shemaah from Gibeah [city]. [These are the names of some of those warriors: ] Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu from Anathoth [town];
El jefe era Ahiezer, luego Joás, hijos de Semaá el gabatita; Jeziel y Pelet, hijos de Azmavet; Beracá; Jehú el anatotita;

y Joelá y Zebadías, hijos de Jeroham de Gedor.
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 gaditas se unieron a David en la fortaleza del desierto, hombres valientes y entrenados para la guerra, que sabían manejar el escudo y la lanza; sus rostros eran como los de los leones, y eran tan veloces como las gacelas de los montes:
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Ezer, el principal; Obadías, el segundo; Eliab, el tercero;
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Mismaná, el cuarto; Jeremías, el quinto;
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Atai, el sexto; Eliel, el séptimo;
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Johanán, el octavo; Elzabad, el noveno;
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Jeremías, el décimo; y Maqubannai, el undécimo.
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 de los hijos de Gad eran capitanes del ejército. El menor era igual a cien, y el mayor a mil.
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 son los que pasaron el Jordán en el primer mes, cuando se desbordó por todas sus orillas; y pusieron en fuga a todos los que vivían en los valles, tanto hacia el oriente como hacia el occidente.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Algunos de los hijos de Benjamín y de Judá vinieron a la fortaleza a David.
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 respondió: “Si habéis venido pacíficamente a ayudarme, mi corazón se unirá a vosotros; pero si habéis venido a entregarme a mis adversarios, ya que no hay mal en mis manos, que el Dios de nuestros padres lo vea y lo reprenda.”
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, que era el jefe de los treinta, y dijo: “Somos tuyos, David, y de tu parte, hijo de Isaí. Paz, paz a ti, y paz a tus ayudantes, porque tu Dios te ayuda”. Entonces David los recibió y los nombró capitanes de la banda.
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}!”
Algunos de Manasés también se unieron a David cuando vino con los filisteos contra Saúl a la batalla, pero no los ayudaron, pues los señores de los filisteos lo despidieron después de consultarlo, diciendo: “Desertará con su amo Saúl con peligro de nuestras cabezas.”
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].
Cuando se dirigía a Siclag, se le unieron algunos de Manasés: Adná, Jozabad, Jediael, Miguel, Jozabad, Eliú y Zilletai, capitanes de millares que eran 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 la banda de asaltantes, pues todos eran hombres valientes y capitanes 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).
Porque de día en día venían hombres a ayudar a David, hasta que hubo 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.
Estos son los números de los jefes de los que estaban armados para la guerra, que vinieron a David a Hebrón para entregarle el reino de Saúl, según la palabra de Yahvé.
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Los hijos de Judá que llevaban escudo y lanza eran seis mil ochocientos, armados para la guerra.
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.
De los hijos de Simeón, hombres valientes para la guerra: siete mil cien.
26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
De los hijos de Leví, cuatro mil seiscientos.
27 Jehoiada, who was a leader descended from Aaron, was in that group of descendants of Levi, and there were 3,700 men with him.
Joiada era el jefe de la casa de Aarón, y con él había tres mil setecientos,
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
y Sadoc, joven valiente, y de la casa de su padre veintidós capitanes.
29 There were 3,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who were Saul’s relatives. Most of them had previously wanted one of Saul’s descendants to be the king.
De los hijos de Benjamín, parientes de Saúl, tres mil, pues hasta entonces la mayor parte de ellos había mantenido su fidelidad a la casa de Saúl.
30 There were 20,800 men from the tribe of Ephraim who were all brave warriors and trained for fighting battles and famous in their own clans.
De los hijos de Efraín: veinte mil ochocientos, hombres valientes y famosos en las casas de sus padres.
31 There were 18,000 men from the half of the tribe of Manasseh [that lived west of the Jordan River]. They were all chosen to go and help David become the king.
De la media tribu de Manasés: dieciocho mil, que fueron mencionados por su nombre, para venir a hacer rey a David.
32 There were 200 men who were leaders from the tribe of Issachar, along with their relatives. Those leaders always knew what the Israelis should do, and they knew the right time to do it.
De los hijos de Isacar, hombres entendidos en los tiempos, para saber lo que debía hacer Israel, sus jefes eran doscientos; y todos sus hermanos estaban a sus órdenes.
33 There were 55,000 men from the tribe of Zebulun. They were all experienced warriors and knew how to use all kinds of weapons well. They were completely loyal to David.
De Zabulón, los que podían salir en el ejército, que podían preparar la batalla con toda clase de instrumentos de guerra: cincuenta mil que podían mandar y no tenían doblez de corazón.
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.

36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
De Aser, los que podían salir en el ejército, los que podían preparar la batalla: cuarenta mil.
37 There were also 120,000 soldiers from the area east of the Jordan [River who joined David]. They were from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They had all kinds of weapons.
Del otro lado del Jordán, de los rubenitas, gaditas y de la media tribu de Manasés, con toda clase de instrumentos de guerra para la batalla: ciento veinte mil.
38 All those men were soldiers who volunteered to be in David’s army. They came to Hebron wanting very much to enable David to be the king of all of the Israeli people.
Todos estos eran hombres de guerra que sabían ordenar la formación de la batalla, y vinieron con un corazón perfecto a Hebrón para hacer a David rey de todo Israel; y también todos los demás de Israel tenían un mismo corazón para hacer a David rey.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Estuvieron allí con David tres días, comiendo y bebiendo, pues sus hermanos 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.
Además, los que estaban cerca de ellos, hasta Isacar, Zabulón y Neftalí, trajeron pan en burros, en camellos, en mulos y en bueyes: provisiones de harina, tortas de higos, racimos de pasas, vino, aceite, ganado y ovejas en abundancia; porque había alegría en Israel.
