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.
16 A hele mai la kekahi poe mamo a Beniamina a me Iuda i kahi paa io Davida la.
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 Hele aku la o Davida iwaho e halawai me lakou; olelo aku la ia, i aku la ia lakou, Ina e hele aloha mai no oukou io'u nei e kokua mai ia'u, e hookahi ana ko'u naau me ko oukou: aka, ina no ka haawi aku ia'u i ko'u poe enemi, na ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna e nana mai, a e papa mai; no ka mea, aole i loaa ka hewa ma ko'u mau lima.
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.”
18 Alaila kau mai la ka Uhane maluna iho o Amasai, ke pookela o na lunakoa, Nou no makou, e Davida, a ma kou aoao hoi, e ke keiki a Iese, aloha, aloha ia oe, aloha hoi i na kokua mahope ou; no ka mea, o kou Akua ke kokua mai ia oe. Alaila, hookipa ae la o Davida ia lakou, a hoonoho ia lakou i mau luna o na koa.
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.”
19 A kaana mai la kekahi poe o Manase ia Davida, ia ia i hele pu ai me ko Pilisetia i ke kaua ia Saula: aka, aole i kokua aku lakou nei mamuli o lakou, no ka mea, na na 'lii o ko Pilisetia i kukakuka pu, a hoihoi aku ia ia, me ka i ana, E kaa aku auanei ia i kona haku ia Saula, maluna o ko kakou mau poo.
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}!”
20 I kona hele ana i Zikelaga, kaana mai la kekahi poe o ka Manase ia ia, o Adena, o Iozabada, o Iediaela, o Mikaela, o Iozabada, o Elihu, a o Ziletai, na luna tausani o ka Manase.

21 A kokua mai la lakou mamuli o Davida me kekahi poe koa; no ka mea, he poe kanaka koa ikaika lakou a pau, a he mau luna iwaena o ka poe koa.
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.
22 Ia manawa no, ia la ae, ia la ae, haele mai la [na kanaka] io Davida la, a lilo ae la lakou i poe koa nui, e like me ka puali o ke Akua.
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
