Παραλειπομένων Αʹ 12
1 καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς Σωκλαγ ἔτι συνεχομένου ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαουλ υἱοῦ Κις καὶ οὗτοι ἐν τοῖς δυνατοῖς βοηθοῦντες ἐν πολέμῳ
Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were amongst the mighty men, his helpers in war.
2 καὶ τόξῳ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καὶ σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις καὶ τόξοις ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαουλ ἐκ Βενιαμιν
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 of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.
3 ὁ ἄρχων Αχιεζερ καὶ Ιωας υἱὸς Ασμα τοῦ Γεβωθίτου καὶ Ιωηλ καὶ Ιωφαλητ υἱοὶ Ασμωθ καὶ Βερχια καὶ Ιηουλ ὁ Αναθωθι
The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
4 καὶ Σαμαιας ὁ Γαβαωνίτης δυνατὸς ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν τριάκοντα Ιερμιας καὶ Ιεζιηλ καὶ Ιωαναν καὶ Ιωζαβαδ ὁ Γαδαραθι

8 καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαδδι ἐχωρίσθησαν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου ἰσχυροὶ δυνατοὶ ἄνδρες παρατάξεως πολέμου αἴροντες θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα καὶ πρόσωπον λέοντος πρόσωπα αὐτῶν καὶ κοῦφοι ὡς δορκάδες ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τῷ τάχει
Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valour, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
9 Αζερ ὁ ἄρχων Αβδια ὁ δεύτερος Ελιαβ ὁ τρίτος
Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Μασεμαννη ὁ τέταρτος Ιερμια ὁ πέμπτος

14 οὗτοι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Γαδ ἄρχοντες τῆς στρατιᾶς εἷς τοῖς ἑκατὸν μικρὸς καὶ μέγας τοῖς χιλίοις
These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
15 οὗτοι οἱ διαβάντες τὸν Ιορδάνην ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ καὶ οὗτος πεπληρωκὼς ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κρηπῖδα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξεδίωξαν πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐλῶνας ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν
These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both towards the east and towards the west.
16 καὶ ἦλθον ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν καὶ Ιουδα εἰς βοήθειαν τοῦ Δαυιδ
Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
17 καὶ Δαυιδ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην ἥκατε πρός με εἴη μοι καρδία καθ’ ἑαυτὴν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ εἰ τοῦ παραδοῦναί με τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου οὐκ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ χειρός ἴδοι ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ ἐλέγξαιτο
David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”
18 καὶ πνεῦμα ἐνέδυσε τὸν Αμασαι ἄρχοντα τῶν τριάκοντα καὶ εἶπεν πορεύου καὶ ὁ λαός σου Δαυιδ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι εἰρήνη εἰρήνη σοι καὶ εἰρήνη τοῖς βοηθοῖς σου ὅτι ἐβοήθησέν σοι ὁ θεός σου καὶ προσεδέξατο αὐτοὺς Δαυιδ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων
Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
19 καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασση προσεχώρησαν πρὸς Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐπὶ Σαουλ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ οὐκ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐν βουλῇ ἐγένετο παρὰ τῶν στρατηγῶν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων λεγόντων ἐν ταῖς κεφαλαῖς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων ἐπιστρέψει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ Σαουλ
Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they didn’t help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
20 ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς Σωκλαγ προσεχώρησαν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ Μανασση Εδνα καὶ Ιωζαβαθ καὶ Ιωδιηλ καὶ Μιχαηλ καὶ Ιωσαβεθ καὶ Ελιμουθ καὶ Σελαθι ἀρχηγοὶ χιλιάδων εἰσὶν τοῦ Μανασση
As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
21 καὶ αὐτοὶ συνεμάχησαν τῷ Δαυιδ ἐπὶ τὸν γεδδουρ ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος πάντες καὶ ἦσαν ἡγούμενοι ἐν τῇ στρατιᾷ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει
They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valour and were captains in the army.
22 ὅτι ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἤρχοντο πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς δύναμιν μεγάλην ὡς δύναμις θεοῦ
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
23 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀρχόντων τῆς στρατιᾶς οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς Χεβρων τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν Σαουλ πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον κυρίου
These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the LORD’s word.

29 καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμιν τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαουλ τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἔτι τὸ πλεῖστον αὐτῶν ἀπεσκόπει τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου Σαουλ

30 καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Εφραιμ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύι ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοὶ κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν
Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous men in their fathers’ houses.

Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
33 καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλων ἐκπορευόμενοι εἰς παράταξιν πολέμου ἐν πᾶσιν σκεύεσιν πολεμικοῖς πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες βοηθῆσαι τῷ Δαυιδ οὐχ ἑτεροκλινῶς

All these were men of war who could order the battle array, and came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες ὅτι ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν
They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.
40 καὶ οἱ ὁμοροῦντες αὐτοῖς ἕως Ισσαχαρ καὶ Ζαβουλων καὶ Νεφθαλι ἔφερον αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων καὶ τῶν ὄνων καὶ τῶν ἡμιόνων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν μόσχων βρώματα ἄλευρα παλάθας σταφίδας οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ισραηλ
Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
