1 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.

1 Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,

2 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.

2 tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa jacientes, et dirigentes sagittas, de fratribus Saul ex Benjamin.

3 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,

3 Princeps Ahiezer, et Joas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Jaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Jehu Anathotites.

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

4 Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Jeremias, et Jeheziel, et Johanan, et Jezabad Gaderothites.

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

5 Et Eluzai, et Jerimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.

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

6 Elcana, et Jesia, et Azareel, et Joëzer, et Jesbaam de Carehim:

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

7 Joëla quoque, et Zabadia filii Jeroham de Gedor.

8 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;

8 ¶ Sed et de Gaddi transfugerunt ad David cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi, et pugnatores optimi, tenentes clypeum et hastam: facies eorum quasi facies leonis, et veloces quasi capreæ in montibus:

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

9 Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

10 Masmana quartus, Jeremias quintus,

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

11 Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

12 Johanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

13 Jeremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.

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.

14 Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus præerat, et maximus mille.

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.

15 Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.

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

16 ¶ Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur 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.

17 Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum jungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et judicet.

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.

18 Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai. Pax, pax tibi, et pax adjutoribus tuis: te enim adjuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmæ.

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.

19 ¶ Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthiim adversus Saul ut pugnaret: et non dimicavit cum eis, quia inito consilio remiserunt eum principes Philisthinorum, dicentes: Periculo capitis nostri revertetur ad dominum suum Saul.

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.

20 Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Jozabad, et Jedihel, et Michaël, et Ednas, et Jozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes millium in Manasse.

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.

21 Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.

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.

22 Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.

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.

23 ¶ Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.

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

24 Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.

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

25 De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.

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

26 De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.

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

27 Jojada quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.

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

28 Sadoc etiam puer egregiæ indolis, et domus patris ejus, principes viginti duo.

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.

29 De filiis autem Benjamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.

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

30 Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.

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

31 Et ex dimidia tribu Manasse, decem et octo millia, singuli per nomina sua, venerunt ut constituerent regem David.

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.

32 De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad præcipiendum quid facere deberet Israël, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.

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.

33 Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad prælium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.

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

34 Et de Nephthali, principes mille, et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.

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

35 De Dan etiam præparati ad prælium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.

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

36 Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.

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.

37 Trans Jordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.

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.

38 Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israël: sed et omnes reliqui ex Israël uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.

39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

39 Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes: præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.

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.

40 Sed et qui juxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar, et Zabulon, et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis, et camelis, et mulis, et bobus ad vescendum: farinam, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, arietes ad omnem copiam: gaudium quippe erat in Israël.
