Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he was yet shut up because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
2 Ngwa agha ha bụ ụta, ha nwere ike iji aka nri maọbụ aka ekpe gbapụ àkụ maọbụ fee ebe; ndị a bụ ndị ikwu Sọl si nʼebo Benjamin.)
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 brethren of Benjamin.

And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valour, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Eza, bụ onyeisi ha. Ọbadaya bụ onye na-eso ya, tupu Eliab esoro.

These of the sons of Gad were captains of the host; he that was least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to a thousand.
15 Ọ bụ ha gafere osimiri Jọdan nʼudu mmiri, mgbe Jọdan tofere akụkụ ya niile, chụsaa ndị niile bi na ndagwurugwu, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
These are they that went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 Ndị ọzọ sitekwara nʼebo Benjamin na Juda bịakwute Devid nʼebe ya e wusiri ike.
And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold unto David.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Devid pụrụ ịga zute ha, sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu bịara nʼudo inyere m aka, ejikeere m ịnabata unu ka unu dịnyere m. Kama ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu bịara ịrara m nye nʼaka ndị iro m, ebe aka m dị ọcha, ka Chineke nna nna anyị hụ ihe dị unu nʼobi kpee unu ikpe.”
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them: 'If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye be come to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and give judgment.'
18 Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ Nsọ dakwasịrị Amasai, onyendu iri ndị ikom atọ ahụ, mee ka ọ gwa Devid okwu sị ya, “Anyị bụ ndị gị, Devid! Anyị so gị nʼazụ, gị nwa Jesi! Udo, udo ga-abụ nke gị, udo ga-abụkwa nke ndị na-enyere gị aka, nʼihi na Chineke gị na-enyere gị aka.” Ya mere, Devid nabatara ha mee ha ndịisi agha na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe.
Then the spirit clothed Amasai, who was chief of the captains: Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse; peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ebo Manase gbasooro Devid, mgbe ọ gara sonyere ndị Filistia nʼịlụso Sọl ọgụ. Ma ya na ndị agha ya enyereghị ndị Filistia aka, nʼihi na mgbe ndị Filistia gbachara izu, ndị ndu ndị Filistia zilagara ya. Ha kwuru sị, “Isi anyị ka anyị ga-atụfu ma ọ bụrụ na Devid ahapụ anyị nʼọgbọ agha gbakwuru nna ya ukwu bụ Sọl.”
Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying: 'He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.'
20 Mgbe Devid gara Ziklag, ndị a bụ ndị ikom si nʼebo Manase ndị gbasooro ya: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Maikel, Jozabad, Elihu na Ziletai. Ndị a niile bụ ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha nʼebo Manase.
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 Ha nyeere Devid aka imegide ndị agha nkwata ahụ, nʼihi na ha niile bụ dike nʼagha, bụrụkwa ndịisi agha.
And they helped David against the troop, for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, ọtụtụ ndị ikom na-agbafeta soro Devid, tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọrọ igwe ndị agha, ndị agha nke Chineke.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great host, like the host of God.
23 Ndị a bụ ndị jikeere ibu agha, ndị chịkwa ngwa agha bịakwute Devid na Hebrọn, nʼihi na ha chọrọ ka ọ bịa bụrụ eze ha nʼọnọdụ Sọl, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.
And these are the numbers of the heads of them that were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

All these, being men of war, that could order the battle array, came with a whole 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 Mgbe ha pụkwutere Devid, ha so ya rie, ṅụọ, abalị atọ. Ọ bụkwa ihe ndị ezinaụlọ ha kwadoro ha ji bịa ka ha riri.
And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation for them.

Moreover they that were nigh unto them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victual of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
