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.
Och kommo desse till David i Ziklag, då han ännu flyktig var för Saul, Kis son; och de voro också ibland de hjeltar, som hulpo till strid;
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.
Och voro skickeliga med bågar, på båda händer, till stenar, pilar och bågar, af Sauls bröder, de af BenJamin voro.
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];

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.
Af de Gaditer söndrade sig ut till David, på borgene i öknene, starke hjeltar och krigsmän, som sköld och spjut förde, och deras ansigte såsom lejons, och raske såsom rår uppå bergen:
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Den förste, Eser; den andre, Obadja; den tredje, Eliab;
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
Den fjerde, Mismanna; den femte, Jeremia;
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
Den sjette, Atthai; den sjunde, Eliel;
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
Den åttonde, Johanan; den nionde, Elsabad;
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
Den tionde, Jeremia; den ellofte, Machbannai.
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.
Desse voro af Gads barnom, höfvitsmän i härenom, den ringaste öfver hundrade, och den ypperste öfver tusende.
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.
Desse äro de, som öfver Jordan gingo i första månadenom, då han full var till båda bräddar, så att alle dalar jemne voro både östan och vestan.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Kommo ock desslikes af BenJamins barn och Juda till Davids borg.
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.”
Och David gick ut till dem, och svarade, och sade till dem: Om I kommen med frid till mig, och till att hjelpa mig, så skall mitt hjerta vara med eder; kommen I ock på arga list att vara mig emot, der dock ingen missgerning i mig är, så se våra fäders Gud dertill, och straffe det.
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.”
Så iklädde Guds Ande Amasai höfvitsmannen öfver tretio, och han sade: Dine äre vi, David, och med dig hålle vi, du Isai son; frid, frid vare med dig; frid vare med dina hjelpare; förty din Gud hjelper dig. Då tog David dem till sig, och satte dem till höfvitsmän öfver krigsfolket.
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}!”
Och af Manasse föllo till David, då han kom med de Philisteer emot Saul till strid, och halp dem dock intet; ty de Philisteers Förstar gingo till råds, och viste honom bort ifrå sig, och sade: Om han fölle till sin herra Saul, så måtte det gälla vår hals.
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].
Då han nu igen drog till Ziklag, föllo till honom af Manasse, Adna, Josabad, Jediael, Michael, Josabad, Elihu, Zillethai, höfvitsmän öfver tusende i Manasse.
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.
Och de hulpo David emot krigsfolket; ty de voro alle mägtige hjeltar, och vordo höfvitsmän öfver hären.
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).
Och kommo hvar dag någre till David, honom till hjelp, tilldess det vardt en stor här, såsom en Guds här.
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.
Och detta är talet på de höfvitsmän, som utrustade kommo till David i Hebron, till att vända Sauls rike till honom efter Herrans ord.
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.

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.

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.

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.
Utaf den halfva slägt ene Manasse adertontusend, som vid namn nämnde vordo, att de skulle komma och göra David till Konung.
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.
Utaf Isaschars barn, de förståndige voro, då tiden så krafde, att man visste hvad Israel göra skulle, tuhundrad höfvitsmän; och alle deras bröder följde deras ord.
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.

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.
Ifrå hinsidon Jordan utaf de Rubeniter, Gaditer och den halfva Manasse slägten, med allahanda vapen till strid, hundrade och tjugu tusend.
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.
Alle desse krigsmän, väl skickade till strid, kommo af allo hjerta till Hebron, att göra David till Konung öfver hela Israel; och var alla de andras af Israel ett hjerta, att man skulle göra David till Konung;
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Och voro der när David i tre dagar, åto och drucko; förty deras bröder hade tillredt för dem.
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.
Och de som näst omkring dem voro, allt intill Isaschar, Sebulon och Naphthali, de förde bröd på åsnar, camelar, mular och oxar, till att äta; mjöl, fikon, russin, vin, oljo, oxar och får, allt fullt; ty en fröjd var i Israel.
