Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.

These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.
15 Warri jiʼa jalqabaatti yeroo lagni Yordaanos guutee ededa isaa hunda irra dhangalaʼutti ceʼanii akka namoonni sululicha keessa jiraachaa turan gara baʼa biiftuutii fi gara lixa biiftuutti baqatan godhan namootuma kanneen turan.
These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.
16 Namoonni Beniyaamiitii fi Yihuudaa tokko tokkos Daawit bira gara daʼannoo isaa ni dhufan.
Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
17 Daawitis isaan simachuudhaaf gad baʼee akkana jedheen; “Isin yoo na gargaaruudhaaf jettanii nagaadhaan dhuftanii jiraattan, ani ofitti isin dabalachuudhaaf qophaaʼaa dha. Garuu yoo isin utuu harki koo yakka hin hojjetin diinota kootti dabarsitanii na kennuudhaaf dhuftanii jiraattan, Waaqni abbootii keenyaa ilaalee murtii haa kennu.”
And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
18 Ergasiis Hafuurri Qulqulluun Amaasaayi hoogganaa namoota Soddomman sanaa irra buʼe; innis akkana jedhe: “Yaa Daawit, nu kan kee ti! Yaa ilma Isseey, nu suma wajjin jirra! Milkaaʼi, milkaaʼi; warri si gargaaranis haa milkaaʼan; Waaqni kee si gargaaraatii.” Kanaafuu Daawit isaan simatee dura deemtota loltoota isaa isaan godhate.
Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.
19 Yeroo Daawit Saaʼolin loluuf jedhee Filisxeemota wajjin duuletti namoonni Minaasee tokko tokko fottoqanii gara Daawititti ni goran. Inni garuu sababii bulchitoonni Filisxeem mariʼatanii of irraa isa ariʼaniif innii fi namoonni isaa Filisxeemota hin gargaarre. Isaanis, “Yoo inni nu dhiisee gara gooftaa isaa gara Saaʼol deebiʼe wanni kun nu ficcisiisa” jedhanii turaniitii.
Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”
20 Yeroo Daawit gara Siiqlaag deemetti namoonni Minaasee warri fottoqanii gara isaa goran kanneenii dha: Adinaahi, Yoozaabaad, Yediiʼeel, Miikaaʼel, Yoozaabaad, Eliihuu fi Ziletaayi; isaan kunneen gosa Minaasee keessatti ajajjuuwwan kumaa turan.
And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
21 Isaanis balaa buuftota dhaʼuu irratti Daawitin ni gargaaran; hundi isaanii loltoota jajjaboo fi ajajjoota loltoota isaa turaniitii.
These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
22 Hamma inni loltoota guddaa akka loltoota Waaqaa qabaatutti, namoonni Daawitin gargaaruudhaaf guyyaa guyyaadhaan gara isaa dhufaa ture.
Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.
23 Baayʼinni namoota lolaaf hidhatanii akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatee turetti mootummaa Saaʼol gara Daawitiitti dabarsuudhaaf jedhanii Daawit bira gara Kebroonii dhufanii kanneenii dha:
Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:

Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
31 walakkaa gosa Minaasee keessaa namoonni Daawitin mootii gochuudhaaf maqaan isaanii galmaaʼee dhufan 18,000;
And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.

Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.

Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.
38 Isaan kunneen hundinuu loltoota waraana keessa tajaajiluudhaaf of kennanii dha. Isaanis Israaʼel hunda irratti Daawitin mootii gochuuf kutatanii gara Kebroon ni dhufan. Israaʼeloonni hafan hundinuus Daawitin mootii gochuuf yaaduma tokko qabu turan.
All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.
39 Namoonnis sababii maatiin isaanii waan hunda isaaniif qopheessaniif nyaachaa dhugaa guyyaa sadii Daawit wajjin achi turan.
And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
40 Akkasumas olloonni isaanii kanneen hamma Yisaakoriitti, Zebuuloonittii fi Niftaalemiitti jiran harrootatti, gaalawwanitti, gaangolii fi sangootatti nyaata feʼanii fidanii ni dhufan.

Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
