These were the men who came to David to Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish. They were among the soldiers, his helpers in battle.
2 Vakanga vapakata uta uye vaigona kupfura miseve nezvimviriri noruoko rworudyi kana rworuboshwe; vaiva hama dzaSauro dzokurudzi rwaBhenjamini.
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 Benjamites, Saul's fellow tribesmen.

Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness. They were fighting men, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were as fierce as the faces of lions. They were as swift as gazelles on the mountains.

These sons of Gad were leaders of the army. The least led a hundred, and the greatest led a thousand.
15 Ivava ndivo vaya vakayambuka Jorodhani mumwedzi wokutanga parwainge rwakazara nokumahombekombe uye vakaita kuti vanhu vose vaigara mumipata, kumabvazuva nokumavirira, vatize.
They crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it overflowed its banks, and chased away all those living in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
16 Vamwe vaBhenjamini navamwe varume vaibva kuJudha vakauyawo kuna Dhavhidhi munhare yake.
Some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
17 Dhavhidhi akaenda kundosangana navo akati kwavari, “Kana mauya kwandiri norugare, kuzondibatsira, ndakagadzirira kuti mubatane neni. Asi kana mauya kuzonditengesa kuvavengi vangu iwo maoko angu asina kuita zvechisimba, Mwari wamadzibaba edu ngaazvione uye akutongei.”
David went out to meet them and addressed them: “If you have come in peace to me to help me, you may join me. But if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, may the God of our ancestors see and rebuke you, since I have done no wrong.”
18 Ipapo Mweya wakauya pana Amasi mukuru waMakumi Matatu akati, “Haiwa Dhavhidhi, tiri vako! Haiwa mwanakomana waJese, tinewe! Kubudirira, kubudirira ngakuve kwauri, uye kubudirira ngakuve kuna vanokubatsira nokuti Mwari wako achakubatsira.” Saka Dhavhidhi akavagamuchira akavaita vatungamiri veboka ravarwi vake.
Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty. Amasai said, “We are yours, David. We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace, may peace be to whoever helps you. May peace be to your helpers, for your God is helping you.” Then David received them and made them commanders over his men.

Some from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle. Yet they did not help the Philistines, because the Philistine lords consulted with each other and sent David away. They said, “He will desert to his master Saul at the risk of our lives.”
20 Dhavhidhi paakaenda kuZikiragi, ava ndivo vaiva varume vokwaManase vakabatana naye: Adhina, Jozabhadhi, Jedhieri, Mikaeri, Jozabhadhi, Erihu naZiretai, vatungamiri vemapoka echiuru muna Manase.
When he went to Ziklag, the men of Manasseh who joined him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains over thousands of Manasseh.
21 Vakabatsira Dhavhidhi paairwisana namapoka amakororo, nokuti vose vakanga vari varwi vakashinga uye vaiva vatungamiri muhondo yake.
They helped David fight against the roving bands, for they were fighting men. Later they became commanders in the army.
22 Zuva nezuva varume vakauya kuzobatsira Dhavhidhi kusvikira ava nehondo huru kwazvo, sehondo yaMwari.
Day after day, men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.
