Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert.

15 To są ci, którzy przeszli przez Jordan w pierwszym miesiącu, kiedy wylał na wszystkie brzegi, i zmusili do ucieczki wszystkich [mieszkańców] dolin na wschód i na zachód.
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 Do warowni do Dawida przyszli także [niektórzy] z synów Beniamina i Judy.
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 I Dawid wyszedł naprzeciw nich, i odpowiedział: Jeśli przyszliście do mnie w pokoju, aby mi pomóc, moje serce połączy się z wami. Lecz jeśli [przyszliście], aby mnie wydać moim wrogom, choć moje ręce są wolne od nieprawości, niech wejrzy w to Bóg naszych ojców i niech osądzi.
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 Wtedy Duch ogarnął Amasaja, naczelnika dowódców, [i powiedział]: Jesteśmy twoi, Dawidzie, i [jesteśmy] z tobą, synu Jessego. Pokój, pokój tobie i pokój twoim pomocnikom! Gdyż tobie pomaga twój Bóg. Dawid więc przyjął ich i ustanowił dowódcami oddziałów.
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 [Z pokolenia] Manassesa niektórzy przyłączyli się do Dawida, gdy wyruszył z Filistynami na wojnę przeciwko Saulowi. Lecz nie pomogli im, gdyż książęta Filistynów po naradzie odesłali go, mówiąc: Ten za cenę naszych głów wróci do swego pana Saula.
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 Gdy szedł do Siklag, przyłączyli się do niego z Manassesa: Adnach, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elihu i Silletaj, dowódcy nad tysiącami w [pokoleniu] Manassesa.
When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
21 Oni to pomogli Dawidowi przeciw bandzie, bo byli wszyscy dzielnymi wojownikami i dowódcami wojska.
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 W tym czasie dzień za dniem [ludzie] przybywali do Dawida, aby mu pomagać, aż [powstało] wielkie wojsko jak wojsko Boże.
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
23 A oto liczba oddziałów gotowych do boju, [które] przyszły do Dawida w Hebronie, aby przenieść na niego królestwo Saula zgodnie ze słowem PANA.
These are the numbers of soldiers who were ready for battle who joined David at Hebron [city]. They came to help him to become the king of Israel to replace Saul, as Yahweh had promised would happen.

All those men were soldiers who volunteered to be in David’s army. They came to Hebron wanting very much to enable David to be the king of all of the Israeli people.
