< 1 Chronicles 12 >

1 These were the men who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish. They were among the soldiers, his helpers in battle.
Følgende er de, der kom til David i Ziklag, medens han måtte holde sig skjult for Saul, Kisj's Søn. De hørte til Heltene, som hjalp til i Kampen;
2 They were armed with bows and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were Benjamites, Saul's fellow tribesmen.
de var væbnet med Bue og øvet i Stenkast og Pileskydning både med højre og venstre Hånd; de hørte til Sauls Brødre, Benjaminiterne.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, both sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite. There were Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth. There were also Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite,
Deres Overhoved var Ahiezer; dernæst Joasj, Sjema'as Søn, fra Gibea, Jeziel og Pelet, Azmavets Sønner, Beraka, Jehu fra Anatot,

Joela og Zebadja, Sønner af Jeroham fra Gedor.
8 Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were fighting men, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were as fierce as the faces of lions. They were as swift as gazelles on the mountains.
Af Gaditerne slutfede nogle sig dygtige Krigere, øvede Krigsmænd, væbnet med Skjold og Spyd; de var som Løver at se på og rappe som Gazellerne på Bjergene.
9 There were Ezer the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Masjmanna den fjerde, Jirmeja den femte,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Attaj den sjette, Eliel den syvende,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Johanan den ottende, Elzabad den niende,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Makbannai the eleventh.
Jirmeja den tiende, Makbannaj den ellevte.
14 These sons of Gad were leaders of the army. The least led a hundred, and the greatest led a thousand.
De var Anførere blandt Gaditerne; den mindste af dem tog det op med hundrede, den største med tusind.
15 They crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it overflowed its banks, and chased away all those living in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
Det var dem, der gik over Jordan i den første Måned, engang den overalt var gået over sine Bredder, og slog alle Dalboerne på Flugt både mod Øst og Vest.
16 Some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
17 David went out to meet them and addressed them: “If you have come in peace to me to help me, you may join me. But if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, may the God of our ancestors see and rebuke you, since I have done no wrong.”
David gik ud til dem, tog til Orde og sagde: "Hvis I kommer til mig i fredelig Hensigt, for at hjælpe mig, er jeg af Hjertet rede til at gøre fælles Sag med eder; men er det for at forråde mig til mine Fjender, skønt der ikke er Uret i mine Hænder, da se vore Fædres Gud til og straffe det!"
18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty. Amasai said, “We are yours, David. We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace, may peace be to whoever helps you. May peace be to your helpers, for your God is helping you.” Then David received them and made them commanders over his men.
Så iførte Ånden sig Amasaj, de tredives Anfører, og han sagde: "For dig, David, og med dig, Isajs Søn! Fred, Fred være med dig, og Fred med dine Hjælpere, thi dig hjælper din Gud!" Da tog David imod dem og satte dem i Spidsen for Krigerskaren.
19 Some from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle. Yet they did not help the Philistines, because the Philistine lords consulted with each other and sent David away. They said, “He will desert to his master Saul at the risk of our lives.”
Af Manasse gik nogle over til David. Det var, dengang han sammen med Filisterne drog i Kamp mod Saul, uden at han dog blev dem til Hjælp, fordi Filisternes Fyrster efter at have holdt Rådslagning sendte ham bort, idet de sagde: "Det koster vore Hoveder, hvis han går over til sin Herre Saul!"
20 When he went to Ziklag, the men of Manasseh who joined him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains over thousands of Manasseh.
Da han så drog til Ziklag, gik følgende Manassiter over til ham: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elibu og Zilletaj, der var Overhoveder for Slægter i Manasse;
21 They helped David fight against the roving bands, for they were fighting men. Later they became commanders in the army.
de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
22 Day after day, men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.
Der kom nemlig daglig Folk til David for at hjælpe ham, så det til sidst blev en stor Hær, stor som Guds Hær.
23 This is the record of the armed soldiers for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, which carried out Yahweh's word.

Med helt Hjerte og rede til Kamp kom alle disse Krigere til Hebron for at gøre David til Konge over hele Israel; men også det øvrige Israel var endrægtigt med til at gøre David til Konge.
39 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their relatives had sent them with provisions.
De blev der hos David i tre Dage og spiste og drak, thi deres Brødre havde forsynet dem;
40 In addition, those who were near to them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen, and cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep, for Israel was celebrating.
