Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still kept from the presence of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

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 brothers of Benjamin.

8 Fra i Gaditi degli uomini partirono per recarsi da Davide nella fortezza del deserto: erano uomini forti e valorosi, esercitati alla guerra, che sapevan maneggiare scudo e lancia: dalle facce leonine, e veloci come gazzelle sui monti.
Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, 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 on the mountains;

15 Questi son quelli che passarono il Giordano il primo mese quand’era straripato da per tutto, e misero in fuga tutti gli abitanti delle valli, a oriente e ad occidente.
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 them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 Anche dei figliuoli di Beniamino e di Giuda vennero a Davide, nella fortezza.
There came of the people of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.
17 Davide uscì loro incontro, e si rivolse a loro, dicendo: “Se venite da me con buon fine per soccorrermi, il mio cuore sarà unito col vostro; ma se venite per tradirmi e darmi nelle mani de’ miei avversari, mentre io non commetto alcuna violenza, l’Iddio dei nostri padri lo vegga, e faccia egli giustizia!”
David went out to meet them, and answered them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to 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 look thereon, and rebuke it."
18 Allora lo spirito investì Amasai, capo dei trenta, che esclamò: “Noi siamo tuoi, o Davide; e siam con te, o figliuolo d’Isai! Pace, pace a te, e pace a quei che ti soccorrono, poiché il tuo Dio ti soccorre!” Allora Davide li accolse, e li fece capi delle sue schiere.
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 Anche degli uomini di Manasse passarono a Davide, quando questi andò coi Filistei a combattere contro Saul; ma Davide e i suoi uomini non furono d’alcun aiuto ai Filistei; giacché i principi dei Filistei, dopo essersi consultati, rimandarono Davide, dicendo: “Egli passerebbe dalla parte del suo signore Saul, a prezzo delle nostre teste”.
Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they did not help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, "He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads."
20 Quand’egli tornò a Tsiklag, questi furon quelli di Manasse, che passarono a lui: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Micael, Jozabad, Elihu, Tsilletai, capi di migliaia nella tribù di Manasse.
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 who were of Manasseh.
21 Questi uomini diedero aiuto a Davide contro le bande dei predoni, perché erano tutti uomini forti e valorosi; e furon fatti capi nell’esercito.
They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.
22 E ogni giorno veniva gente a Davide per soccorrerlo: tanta, che se ne formò un esercito grande come un esercito di Dio.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.

38 Tutti questi uomini, gente di guerra, pronti a ordinarsi in battaglia, giunsero a Hebron, con sincerità di cuore, per proclamare Davide re sopra tutto Israele; e anche tutto il rimanente d’Israele era unanime per fare re Davide.
All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, 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 Essi rimasero quivi tre giorni con Davide a mangiare e a bere, perché i loro fratelli avean preparato per essi dei viveri.
They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had made preparation for them.
40 E anche quelli ch’eran loro vicini, e perfino gente da Issacar, da Zabulon e da Neftali, portavan dei viveri sopra asini, sopra cammelli, sopra muli e su buoi: farina, fichi secchi, uva secca, vino, olio, buoi e pecore in abbondanza; perché v’era gioia in Israele.
Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and cattle, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel.
