These [were] of [the] descendants of Gad [the] chiefs of the army one to a hundred the little and the great to a thousand.

These [were] they who they passed over the Jordan in the month first and it [was] overflowing over all (banks its *Q(K)*) and they put to flight all the valleys to the east and to the west.
16 Wabenyamini wengine na baadhi ya watu kutoka Yuda pia walikuja kwa Daudi katika ngome yake.
And they came some of [the] descendants of Benjamin and Judah to to the fortress to David.
17 Daudi akatoka nje kuwalaki na akawaambia, “Kama mmekuja kwangu kwa amani, kunisaidia, mimi niko tayari kuwaruhusu ninyi kuungana nami. Lakini kama mmekuja ili kunisaliti kwa adui zangu wakati mimi mikono yangu haina hatia, basi Mungu wa baba zetu aone na awahukumu.”
And he went out David before them and he answered and he said to them if to peace you have come to me to help me it will belong to me towards you a heart for unity and if to betray me to foes my with not violence in hands my may he see [the] God of ancestors our and may he judge.
18 Kisha Roho akaja juu ya Amasai, mkuu wa wale Thelathini, naye akasema: “Sisi tu watu wako, ee Daudi! Nasi tuko pamoja na wewe, ee mwana wa Yese! Ushindi, naam, ushindi uwe kwako, pia ushindi kwa wale walio upande wako, kwa kuwa Mungu wako atakusaidia.” Kwa hiyo Daudi akawapokea na kuwafanya viongozi wa vikosi vyake vya uvamizi.

19 Baadhi ya watu kutoka kabila la Manase wakajiunga na Daudi wakati alikwenda pamoja na Wafilisti, kupigana na Sauli. (Daudi na watu wake hawakuwasaidia Wafilisti kwa sababu, baada ya ushauri, watawala wao walimrudisha. Wakasema, “Itatugharimu vichwa vyetu kama Daudi atatuasi na kurudi kwa Sauli bwana wake.”)
And some of Manasseh they fell on David when went he with [the] Philistines on Saul for battle and not they helped them for by plan they sent away him [the] rulers of [the] Philistines saying by heads our he will fall to lord his Saul.

And they they helped with David on the marauding band[s] for [were] mighty [men] of strength all of them and they were commanders in the army.
22 Siku baada ya siku watu walikuja kumsaidia Daudi, mpaka akawa na jeshi kubwa, kama jeshi la Mungu.
For to a time of a day in a day they came to David to help him until to a camp great like [the] camp of God.
