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.
Benyamin oymağından, Saul'un ailesindendiler. Yay taşır ve yayla ok, sapanla taş atmak için hem sağ, hem sol ellerini kullanabilirlerdi.

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.
Davut çölde saklandığı yerdeyken bazı Gadlılar da ona katıldı. Bunlar savaşa hazır, kalkan ve mızrak kullanabilen yiğit adamlardı. Yüzleri aslan yüzü gibiydi, dağlardaki ceylanlar kadar çeviktiler.
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Önderleri Ezer'di. İkincisi Ovadya, üçüncüsü Eliav,
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
dördüncüsü Mişmanna, beşincisi Yeremya,
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.

12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
sekizincisi Yohanan, dokuzuncusu Elzavat,
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
onuncusu Yeremya, on birincisi de Makbannay'dı.
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.
Bu Gadlılar ordu komutanlarıydı. En güçsüzleri yüz, güçlüleri bin kişinin yerini tutardı.
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.
Birinci ay, Şeria Irmağı her yana taşmışken, karşı yakaya geçtiler. Oradaki vadilerde oturanların tümünü doğuya, batıya kaçırdılar.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Benyamin ve Yahudaoğulları'ndan bazı kişiler de Davut'un yanına, saklandığı yere gittiler.
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.”
Onları karşılamaya çıkan Davut şöyle dedi: “Eğer bana yardım etmek için esenlikle geldiyseniz, buyrun bize katılın. Ama ben haksızlık yapmamışken beni düşmanlarımın eline teslim etmeye geldiyseniz, atalarımızın Tanrısı bunu görsün ve sizi yargılasın.”
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.”
Tanrı'nın Ruhu Otuzlar'ın önderi Amasay'ın üzerine indi. Amasay şöyle dedi: “Ey Davut, seniniz biz! Ey İşay oğlu, seninleyiz! Esenlik olsun sana, esenlik! Seni destekleyenlere de esenlik olsun! Tanrın sana yardım edecektir.” Davut onları iyi karşıladı ve akıncıların başı yaptı.
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}!”
Davut Filistliler'le birlikte Saul'a karşı savaşmaya gidince, Manaşşe oymağından da bazı kişiler onun yanına geçtiler. Ne var ki Davut'la adamları Filistliler'e yardım etmediler. Çünkü Filist beyleri birbirlerine danışıp, “Davut efendisi Saul'a dönerse başımızdan oluruz” diyerek onu geri göndermişlerdi.
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].
Davut Ziklak'a gittiğinde yanına geçen Manaşşeliler şunlardır: Adna, Yozavat, Yediael, Mikael, Yozavat, Elihu, Silletay. Bunlar Manaşşe'de bin kişilik birliklerin komutanlarıydı.
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.
Düşman akıncılarına karşı Davut'a yardım ettiler. Hepsi de yiğit savaşçılar, ordu komutanlarıydı.
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).
Her gün insanlar Davut'a yardım etmeye geliyorlardı. Davut büyük, güçlü bir orduya sahip oluncaya dek bu böyle sürdü.
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.

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.
Bunların hepsi savaşa hazır yiğit askerlerdi. Büyük bir kararlılıkla Davut'u bütün İsrail'in kralı yapmak için Hevron'a geldiler. Geri kalan İsrailliler de Davut'u kral yapma konusunda aynı düşüncedeydiler.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Adamlar Davut'un yanında üç gün kaldılar. Orada yiyip içtiler. Gereksinimlerini yakınları sağlamıştı.
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.
İssakar, Zevulun ve Naftali'ye kadar yayılmış olan yakınları da yiyecek yüklü eşeklerle, develerle, katırlarla, öküzlerle geldiler. Bol miktarda un, incir pestili, kuru üzüm salkımları, şarap, zeytinyağı, çok sayıda sığır ve davar getirdiler. Çünkü İsrail'de sevinç vardı.
