Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,

bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:

and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
8 Af Gaditerne slutfede nogle sig dygtige Krigere, øvede Krigsmænd, væbnet med Skjold og Spyd; de var som Løver at se på og rappe som Gazellerne på Bjergene.
Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.
9 Deres Overhoved var Ezer, Obadja den anden, Eliab den tredje,
Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Masjmanna den fjerde, Jirmeja den femte,

14 De var Anførere blandt Gaditerne; den mindste af dem tog det op med hundrede, den største med tusind.
These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.
15 Det var dem, der gik over Jordan i den første Måned, engang den overalt var gået over sine Bredder, og slog alle Dalboerne på Flugt både mod Øst og Vest.
These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.
16 Engang kom nogle Benjaminiter og Judæere til David i Klippeborgen;
Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
17 David gik ud til dem, tog til Orde og sagde: "Hvis I kommer til mig i fredelig Hensigt, for at hjælpe mig, er jeg af Hjertet rede til at gøre fælles Sag med eder; men er det for at forråde mig til mine Fjender, skønt der ikke er Uret i mine Hænder, da se vore Fædres Gud til og straffe det!"
And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”
18 Så iførte Ånden sig Amasaj, de tredives Anfører, og han sagde: "For dig, David, og med dig, Isajs Søn! Fred, Fred være med dig, og Fred med dine Hjælpere, thi dig hjælper din Gud!" Da tog David imod dem og satte dem i Spidsen for Krigerskaren.
Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.
19 Af Manasse gik nogle over til David. Det var, dengang han sammen med Filisterne drog i Kamp mod Saul, uden at han dog blev dem til Hjælp, fordi Filisternes Fyrster efter at have holdt Rådslagning sendte ham bort, idet de sagde: "Det koster vore Hoveder, hvis han går over til sin Herre Saul!"
Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”
20 Da han så drog til Ziklag, gik følgende Manassiter over til ham: Adna, Jozabad, Jediael, Mikael, Jozabad, Elibu og Zilletaj, der var Overhoveder for Slægter i Manasse;
And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.
21 de hjalp siden David imod Strejfskarerne, thi de var alle dygtige Krigere og blev Førere i Hæren.
These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
22 Der kom nemlig daglig Folk til David for at hjælpe ham, så det til sidst blev en stor Hær, stor som Guds Hær.
Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.
23 Følgende er Tallene på Førerne for de væbnede Krigere, der kom til David i Hebron for at gøre ham til Konge i Sauls Sted efter HERRENs Bud:
Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:

Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.
38 Med helt Hjerte og rede til Kamp kom alle disse Krigere til Hebron for at gøre David til Konge over hele Israel; men også det øvrige Israel var endrægtigt med til at gøre David til Konge.
All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.
39 De blev der hos David i tre Dage og spiste og drak, thi deres Brødre havde forsynet dem;
And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
40 også de, der boede i deres Nærhed lige til Issakar, Zebulon og Naftali, bragte dem Levnedsmidler på Æsler, Kameler, Muldyr og Okser, Fødevarer af Mel, Figenkar, Rosinkager, Vin, Olie, Hornkvæg og Småkvæg i Mængde; thi der var Glæde i Israel.
Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.
