1 Cronache 12
1 OR questi [furono] quelli che vennero a Davide in Siclag, mentre era ancora rattenuto [là], per tema di Saulle, figliuolo di Chis; i quali [erano] fra gli uomini prodi, buoni combattenti,
Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.
2 armati di archi, tiratori di pietre [con la frombola], e di saette con l'arco, così della man sinistra, come della destra. De' fratelli di Saulle, di Beniamino:
They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.

8 [Alcuni] eziandio de' Gaditi si appartarono per ridursi appresso a Davide, nella fortezza nel deserto, uomini prodi nelle armi, [e] guerrieri, armati di rotelle e di scudi; e parevano leoni in faccia, e cavriuoli in su i monti, in velocità.
And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;
9 Ezer [era] il primo, Obadia il secondo, Eliab il terzo,
Ezer their chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mismanna il quarto, Geremia il quinto,

13 Geremia il decimo, Macbannai l'undecimo.

14 Costoro, d'infra i figliuoli di Gad, [furono] capitani dell'esercito; il minimo comandava a cent'[uomini], il maggiore a mille.
These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 Questi [furono] quelli che passarono il Giordano al primo mese, quando è pieno fin sopra tutte le sue rive; e cacciarono tutti [quelli che stavano nel]le valli, verso Oriente, e verso Occidente.
It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Vennero ancora de' figliuoli di Beniamino, e di Giuda, a Davide, nella fortezza.
And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.
17 E Davide uscì loro incontro, e parlò loro, e disse: Se voi siete venuti a me da buoni amici, per soccorrermi, l'animo mio sarà inverso voi, per esser in buona unione insieme; ma [se siete venuti] per tradirmi a' miei nemici, quantunque non [vi sia] alcuna violenza nelle mie mani, l'Iddio de' nostri padri [lo] vegga, e [ne] faccia la punizione.
And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.
18 Allora lo Spirito investì Amasai, capo di que' capitani; ed [egli disse]: [Noi siamo] tuoi, o Davide, e [staremo] teco, o figliuolo d'Isai. Pace, pace a te, e pace a quelli che ti soccorrono; conciossiachè l'Iddio tuo ti soccorra. E Davide li accolse, e li costituì fra i capitani delle [sue] schiere.
Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.
19 Alcuni ancora di Manasse andarono ad arrendersi a Davide, quando egli venne co' Filistei, per combattere contro a Saulle. Ma [Davide] non diede loro alcun soccorso; perciocchè i principi dei Filistei, per [comun] consiglio, lo rimandarono, dicendo: Egli si rivolterà a Saulle, suo signore, al [rischio del]le nostre teste.
And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.
20 Quando egli [di là] andò in Siclag, Adna, e Iozabad, e Iediael, e Micael, e Iozabad, ed Elihu, e Silletai, d'infra i Manassiti, capi di migliaia di Manasse, andarono ad arrendersi a lui.
Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.
21 Ed essi diedero soccorso a Davide contro alle schiere che aveano fatta quella correria; perciocchè [erano] tutti uomini valenti, onde furono fatti capitani nell'esercito.
And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.
22 Perciocchè di giorno in giorno venivano [genti] a Davide, per soccorrerlo, fino a [fare] un campo grande, come un campo di Dio.
And from day to day more supporters came to David, till he had a great army like the army of God.
23 OR queste [son] le somme delle schiere di quelli che vennero a Davide in Hebron, in armi per la guerra, per trasportare in lui il reame di Saulle, secondo la parola del Signore:
These are the numbers of the chiefs of the armed men, ready for war, who came to David at Hebron, to give the kingdom of Saul into his hands, as the Lord had said.

From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.
38 Tutti questi uomini di guerra vennero in ordinanza, di cuore intiero in Hebron, per costituir Davide re sopra tutto Israele. Tutto il rimanente d'Israele ancora [era] d'uno stesso animo per far Davide re.
All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.
39 E [quella gente] stette quivi tre giorni con Davide, mangiando e bevendo; perciocchè i lor fratelli aveano loro provveduto.
For three days they were there with David, feasting at his table, for their brothers had made ready food for them.
40 Ed anche i lor prossimi parenti, fin da Issacar, e Zabulon, e Neftali, portavano sopra asini, e sopra cammelli, [e menavano] con muli, e con buoi, pane, [ed altra] vittuaglia di farina, fichi secchi, ed uve secche, e vino, ed olio; e [menavano] eziandio buoi, e pecore, in gran quantità; perciocchè [vi era] allegrezza in Israele.
And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.
