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. They were brave warriors who were trained for fighting battles and able to use shields and spears well. They [SYN] were as fierce as [SIM, MTY] lions, and they could run as fast as [HYP, SIM] deer/gazelles on the hills/mountains.
| عَازَرُ ٱلرَّأْسُ، وَعُوبَدْيَا ٱلثَّانِي، وَأَلِيآبُ ٱلثَّالِثُ، | ٩ 9 |

| هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بَنِي جَادَ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجَيْشِ. صَغِيرُهُمْ لِمِئَةٍ، وَٱلْكَبِيرُ لِأَلْفٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
Those men from the tribe of Gad were all army officers. Some of them commanded 1,000 soldiers, and some of them commanded 100 soldiers.
| هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ عَبَرُوا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ وَهُوَ مُمْتَلِئٌ إِلَى جَمِيعِ شُطُوطِهِ وَهَزَمُوا كُلَّ أَهْلِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ شَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا. | ١٥ 15 |
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.
| وَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ وَيَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
| فَخَرَجَ دَاوُدُ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِمْ وَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِسَلَامٍ إِلَيَّ لِتُسَاعِدُونِي، يَكُونُ لِي مَعَكُمْ قَلْبٌ وَاحِدٌ. وَإِنْ كَانَ لِكَيْ تَدْفَعُونِي لِعَدُوِّي وَلَا ظُلْمَ فِي يَدَيَّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَهُ آبَائِنَا وَيُنْصِفْ». | ١٧ 17 |
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.”
| فَحَلَّ ٱلرُّوحُ عَلَى عَمَاسَايَ رَأْسِ ٱلثَّوَالِثِ فَقَالَ: «لَكَ نَحْنُ يَا دَاوُدُ، وَمَعَكَ نَحْنُ يَا ٱبْنَ يَسَّى. سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ لَكَ، وَسَلَامٌ لِمُسَاعِدِيكَ. لِأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ مُعِينُكَ». فَقَبِلَهُمْ دَاوُدُ وَجَعَلَهُمْ رُؤُوسَ ٱلْجُيُوشِ. | ١٨ 18 |
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.”
| وَسَقَطَ إِلَى دَاوُدَ بَعْضٌ مِنْ مَنَسَّى حِينَ جَاءَ مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ضِدَّ شَاوُلَ لِلْقِتَالِ وَلَمْ يُسَاعِدُوهُمْ، لِأَنَّ أَقْطَابَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَرْسَلُوهُ بِمَشُورَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّمَا بِرُؤُوسِنَا يَسْقُطُ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ شَاوُلَ». | ١٩ 19 |
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}!”
| حِينَ ٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى صِقْلَغَ سَقَطَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَنَسَّى عَدْنَاحُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَيَدِيعَئِيلُ وَمِيخَائِيلُ وَيُوزَابَادُ وَأَلِيهُو وَصِلْتَايُ رُؤُوسُ أُلُوفِ مَنَسَّى. | ٢٠ 20 |
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].
| وَهُمْ سَاعَدُوا دَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلْغُزَاةِ لِأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا جَبَابِرَةُ بَأْسٍ، وَكَانُوا رُؤَسَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَيْشِ. | ٢١ 21 |
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.
| لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتَئِذٍ أَتَى أُنَاسٌ إِلَى دَاوُدَ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا لِمُسَاعَدَتِهِ حَتَّى صَارُوا جَيْشًا عَظِيمًا كَجَيْشِ ٱللهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
| وَهَذَا عَدَدُ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْمُتَجَرِّدِينَ لِلْقِتَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا إِلَى دَاوُدَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُحَوِّلُوا مَمْلَكَةَ شَاوُلَ إِلَيْهِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
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.
| بَنُو يَهُوذَا حَامِلُو ٱلْأَتْرَاسِ وَٱلرِّمَاحِ سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَثَمَانِ مِئَةِ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْقِتَالِ. | ٢٤ 24 |

There were 3,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who were Saul’s relatives. Most of them had previously wanted one of Saul’s descendants to be the king.

There were 55,000 men from the tribe of Zebulun. They were all experienced warriors and knew how to use all kinds of weapons well. They were completely loyal to David.

| كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ رِجَالُ حَرْبٍ يَصْطَفُّونَ صُفُوفًا، أَتَوْا بِقَلْبٍ تَامٍّ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُمَلِّكُوا دَاوُدَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ لِتَمْلِيكِ دَاوُدَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
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.
| وَكَانُوا هُنَاكَ مَعَ دَاوُدَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ لِأَنَّ إِخْوَتَهُمْ أَعَدُّوا لَهُمْ. | ٣٩ 39 |
The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
| وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْقَرِيبُونَ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَسَّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي، كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِخُبْزٍ عَلَى ٱلْحَمِيرِ وَٱلْجِمَالِ وَٱلْبِغَالِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ، وَبِطَعَامٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ وَتِينٍ وَزَبِيبٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَزَيْتٍ وَبَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ بِكَثْرَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَرَحٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
Also, their fellow Israelis came from as far away as the area where the tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali lived, bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. They brought a lot of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, [olive] oil, cattle and sheep. And throughout Israel, the people were very joyful.
