Ang mga Tawo nga Nag-upod kay David kag sa Iya mga Soldado

12 Amo ini ang mga tawo nga nagkadto kay David didto sa Ziklag kag nag-upod sa iya sang nagapanago siya kay Saul nga anak ni Kish. Isa sila sa mga nagbulig kay David sa inaway. May mga pana sila, kag sagad gid sila magpana ukon maglabyog sang bato, tuo man ukon wala nga kamot. Mga paryente sila ni Saul halin sa tribo ni Benjamin. Ginpanguluhan sila ni Ahiezer kag ni Joash nga mga anak ni Shemaa nga taga-Gibeah. Amo ini ang ila mga ngalan:

si Jeziel kag si Pelet nga mga anak ni Azmavet,

si Beraca kag si Jehu nga taga-Anatot,

si Ishmaya nga taga-Gibeon, nga bantog kag maisog nga lider sang 30 ka maisog nga mga soldado,

si Jeremias, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad nga taga-Gedera,

si Eluzai, Jerimot, Bealia, Shemaria, kag Shefatia nga taga-Haruf,

si Elkana, Ishia, Azarel, Joezer, kag Jashobeam nga mga kaliwat ni Kora,

si Joela kag Zebadia nga mga anak ni Jeroham nga taga-Gedor.

May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Gad nga nag-upod kay David didto sa mabakod nga palanaguan sa kamingawan. Mga maisog sila nga mga soldado kag sagad sila maggamit sang taming kag bangkaw. Pareho sila kaisog sa mga leon, kag pareho kadasig sa usa sa kabukiran:

si Ezer amo ang ila pangulo,

si Obadias ang ikaduha,

si Eliab ang ikatatlo,

10 si Mishmana ang ikaapat,

si Jeremias ang ikalima,

11 si Atai ang ikaanom,

si Eliel ang ikapito,

12 si Johanan ang ikawalo,

si Elzabad ang ikasiyam,

13 si Jeremias ang ikanapulo,

kag si Macbanai ang ikaonse.

14 Ini sila nga mga kaliwat ni Gad mga kumander sang mga soldado. Ang pinakamaluya sa ila makadumala sang 100 ka soldado kag ang pinakamakusog sa ila makadumala sang 1,000 ka soldado. 15 Gintabok nila ang Suba sang Jordan sang tion sang tigbalaha sini sa una nga bulan sang tuig, kag gintabog nila ang tanan nga nagaestar sa kapatagan sa sidlangan kag sa nakatundan sang suba.

16 May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Benjamin kag ni Juda nga nagkadto kay David didto sa mabakod nga palanaguan. 17 Nagguwa si David sa pagsugata sa ila kag nagsiling, “Kon nagkadto kamo diri sa pagbulig sa akon bilang mga abyan, ginabaton ko kamo nga mag-upod sa amon. Pero kon nagkadto kamo diri sa pagtugyan sa akon sa akon mga kaaway bisan wala ako sing may ginhimo nga malain sa inyo, kabay pa nga makita ini sang Dios sang aton mga katigulangan kag silutan niya kamo.”

18 Dayon gin-gamhan sang Espiritu si Amasai nga sang ulihi nangin lider sang 30 ka maisog nga mga soldado, kag nagsiling siya,

“Imo kami, O David nga anak ni Jesse! Kabay pa nga magmadinalag-on ka kag ang mga nagabulig sa imo, kay ang imo Dios nagabulig sa imo.” Gani ginbaton sila ni David kag ginhimo nga mga opisyal sang iya mga soldado.

19 May mga tawo man nga halin sa tribo ni Manase nga nag-upod kay David sang magkadto siya sa mga Filistinhon sa pagpakig-away kay Saul. Pero ang natabo, wala magsugot ang mga Filistinhon nga mag-upod si David kag ang iya mga tinawo, kay nagahunahuna sila nga basi mag-unong liwat si David sa iya agalon nga si Saul. Gani pagkatapos nila diskusyon, ginpabalik nila si David sa Ziklag.

20 Amo ini ang mga tawo nga halin sa tribo ni Manase nga nag-upod kay David sa Ziklag: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediel, Micael, Jozabad, Elihu, kag Ziletai. Ang kada isa sa ila lider sang isa ka libo ka soldado sa tribo ni Manase. 21 Nagbulig sila kay David sa pagpakig-away sa mga manugsalakay, kay mga maayo sila tanan nga mga soldado. Amo ina nga nangin kumander sila sang mga soldado ni David. 22 Kada adlaw, may mga tawo nga nagakadto kay David sa pagbulig sa iya, hasta nga nagdamo kag naglig-on ang iya mga soldado.[a]

23 Amo ini ang kadamuon sang armado nga mga soldado nga nagkadto kay David didto sa Hebron sa pagbulig sa iya nga maagaw ang ginharian ni Saul, suno sa ginpromisa sang Ginoo:

24 Halin sa tribo ni Juda: 6,800 ka armado nga mga soldado nga may mga bangkaw kag mga pana.

25 Halin sa tribo ni Simeon: 7,100 ka maayo nga mga soldado.

26 Halin sa tribo ni Levi: 4,600 ka soldado, 27 lakip na si Jehoyada nga pangulo sang pamilya ni Aaron kag ang iya 3,700 ka tinawo, 28 kag si Zadok nga isa ka bataon kag maayo nga soldado kag ang 22 ka opisyal halin sa iya pamilya.

29 Halin sa tribo ni Benjamin nga mga paryente ni Saul: 3,000 ka soldado. Kalabanan sa mga kaliwat ni Benjamin padayon nga nag-unong kay Saul.

30 Halin sa tribo ni Efraim: 20,800 ka maayo nga mga soldado kag bantog sa ila mga pamilya.

31 Halin sa katunga nga tribo ni Manase: 18,000 ka soldado. Ginpadala sila para lang sa pagbulig nga mangin hari si David.

32 Halin sa tribo ni Isacar: 200 ka pangulo upod sa ila mga paryente nga ila ginadumalahan. Ini sila nakahibalo kon ano ang dapat himuon sang Israel kag kon san-o nila ini himuon.

33 Halin sa tribo ni Zebulun: 50,000 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway. Armado sila sang nagkalain-lain nga mga armas. Handa gid sila nga magbulig kag mag-unong kay David.

34 Halin sa tribo ni Naftali: 1,000 ka opisyal kag 37,000 ka soldado nga may dala nga mga taming kag mga bangkaw.

35 Halin sa tribo ni Dan: 28,600 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway.

36 Halin sa tribo ni Asher: 40,000 ka hanas nga mga soldado nga preparado sa inaway.

37 Kag halin sa mga tribo sa sidlangan sang Suba sang Jordan, ang tribo ni Reuben, Gad kag katunga sang tribo ni Manase: 120,000 ka soldado nga armado sang nagkalain-lain nga mga armas.

38 Ini sila tanan mga soldado nga nagbuluntad sa pagpakig-away. Nagkadto sila sa Hebron nga determinado sa paghimo kay David nga hari sa bug-os nga Israel. Halos ang tanan nga Israelinhon gusto gid nga si David mangin ila hari. 39 Nagpabilin sila didto sang tatlo ka adlaw upod kay David nga nagakinaon kag nagaininom kay ginpadal-an sila sang ila mga kasimanwa sang pagkaon. 40 Nagdala man sang pagkaon ang ila mga kadugo halin pa sa malayo nga lugar sang Isacar, Zebulun, kag Naftali. Ginkarga nila ini sa mga asno, mga kamelyo, mga mula,[b] kag mga baka. Madamo ang ila mga harina, mga binulad nga higos, pasas, bino, lana, baka, kag karnero. Malipayon gid ang tanan sa Israel.

Warriors Join David

12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag,(A) while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed;(B) they were relatives of Saul(C) from the tribe of Benjamin):

Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[a](D) Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(E)

Some Gadites(F) defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions,(G) and they were as swift as gazelles(H) in the mountains.

Ezer was the chief,

Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.

14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,(I) and the greatest for a thousand.(J) 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks,(K) and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.

16 Other Benjamites(L) and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”

18 Then the Spirit(M) came on Amasai,(N) chief of the Thirty, and he said:

“We are yours, David!
    We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success,(O) success to you,
    and success to those who help you,
        for your God will help you.”

So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.

19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)(P) 20 When David went to Ziklag,(Q) these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[b]

Others Join David at Hebron

23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron(R) to turn(S) Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:(T)

24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;

25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;

26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok,(U) a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;

29 from Benjamin,(V) Saul’s tribe—3,000, most(W) of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;

30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;

31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;

32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do(X)—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;

33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;

34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;

35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;

36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;

37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.

38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel.(Y) All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking,(Z) for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies(AA) of flour, fig cakes, raisin(AB) cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy(AC) in Israel.

  2. 1 Chronicles 12:22 Or a great and mighty army

12 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.

They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite.

And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,

And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.

17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.

23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.

24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;

28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.

29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.

30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.

31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.

34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.

37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.

38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, 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 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
