1 Chronicles 12
1 David went to Ziklag [town] to escape from [King] Saul. While he was there, many warriors came and joined him, and they helped him when he fought battles.
Auch kamen diese zu David gen Ziklag, da er noch verschlossen war vor Saul, dem Sohn Kis. Und sie waren auch unter den Helden, die zum Streit halfen
2 They carried bows [and arrows]. They were able to shoot arrows and to sling stones. They could use either their right arms or their left arms to do that. They were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
und mit Bogen geschickt waren zu beiden Händen, auf Steine, Pfeile und Bogen. Von den Brüdern Sauls, die aus Benjamin waren:
3 Their leader was Ahiezer. Next in command was Joash. They were both sons of Shemaah from Gibeah [city]. [These are the names of some of those warriors: ] Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu from Anathoth [town];
der Vornehmste Ahieser und Joas, die Kinder Samaas, des Gibeathiters; Jesiel und Pelet, die Kinder Asmaveths; Baracha und Jehu, der Anthothiter.
4 Ishmaiah from the Gibeon [city], who was a leader of the thirty mighty warriors; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad from Gederah [town];
Jesmaja, der Gibeoniter, gewaltig unter dreißigen und über dreißig. Jeremia, Jahesiel, Johanan, Josabad, der Gederathiter.
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah from Haruph [town];
Eleusai, Jerimoth, Bealja, Samarja, Saphatja, der Harophiter.
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam, who were descendants of Korah;
Elkana, Jesija, Asareel, Joeser, Jasabeam, die Korhiter.
7 Joelah and Zebadiah, who were sons of Jeroham, from Gedor [town].
Joela und Sabadja, die Kinder Jerohams von Gedor.
8 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.
Von den Gaditern sonderten sich aus zu David in die Burg in der Wüste starke Helden und Kriegsleute, die Schild und Spieß führeten, und ihr Angesicht wie der Löwen und schnell wie die Rehe auf den Bergen:
9 Ezer was their leader. Next in command was Obadiah. Next was Eliab.
Der erste Eser, der andere Obadja, der dritte Eliab,
10 Next was Mishmannah. Next was Jeremiah.
der vierte Masmanna, der fünfte Jeremja,
11 Next was Attai. Next was Eliel.
der sechste Athai, der siebente Eliel,
12 Next was Johanan. Next was Elzabad.
der achte Johanan, der neunte Elsabad,
13 Next was [another man whose name was] Jeremiah. The last was Macbannai.
der zehnte Jeremja, der elfte Machbanai.
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.
Diese waren von den Kindern Gad, Häupter im Heer; der Kleinste über hundert und der Größte über tausend.
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.
Die sind's, die über den Jordan gingen im ersten Monden, da er voll war an beiden Ufern, daß alle Gründe eben waren, beide gegen Morgen und gegen Abend.
16 Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
Es kamen aber auch von den Kindern Benjamin und Juda zu der Burg Davids.
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.”
David aber ging heraus zu ihnen und antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: So ihr kommt im Frieden zu mir und mir zu helfen, so soll mein Herz mit euch sein; so ihr aber kommt auf List und mir wider zu sein, so doch kein Frevel an mir ist, so sehe der Gott unserer Väter drein und strafe es!
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.”
Aber der Geist zog an Amasai, den Hauptmann unter dreißigen: Dein sind wir, David, und mit dir halten wir's, du Sohn Isais. Friede, Friede sei mit dir! Friede sei mit deinen Helfern! denn dein Gott hilft dir. Da nahm sie David an und setzte sie zu Häuptern über die Kriegsleute.
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}!”
Und von Manasse fielen zu David, da er kam mit den Philistern wider Saul zum Streit und half ihnen nicht. Denn die Fürsten der Philister ließen ihn mit Rat von sich und sprachen: Wenn er zu seinem HERRN Saul fiele, so möchte es uns unsern Hals kosten.
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].
Da er nun gen Ziklag zog, fielen zu ihm von Manasse Adna, Josabad, Jediael, Michael, Josabad, Elihu, Zilthai, Häupter über tausend in Manasse.
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.
Und sie halfen David wider die Kriegsleute; denn sie waren alle redliche Helden und wurden Hauptleute über das Heer.
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).
Auch kamen alle Tage etliche zu David, ihm zu helfen, bis daß ein groß Heer ward, wie ein Heer Gottes.
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.
Und dies ist die Zahl der Häupter, gerüstet zum Heer, die zu David gen Hebron kamen, das Königreich Sauls zu ihm zu wenden, nach dem Wort des HERRN.
24 There were 6,800 men from Judah, who carried shields and spears.
Der Kinder Juda, die Schild und Spieß trugen, waren sechstausend und achthundert, gerüstet zum Heer;
25 There were 7,100 men from the tribe of Simeon. They were all strong warriors trained to fight battles.

26 There were 4,600 men from the tribe of Levi.
der Kinder Levi viertausend und sechshundert;
27 Jehoiada, who was a leader descended from Aaron, was in that group of descendants of Levi, and there were 3,700 men with him.
und Jojada, der Fürst unter denen von Aaron, mit dreitausend und siebenhundert;
28 Zadok, a strong young soldier, was also in that group, and there were 22 other leaders from his clan who came with him.
Zadok, der Knabe, ein redlicher Held, mit seines Vaters Hause, zweiundzwanzig Obersten;
29 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.
der Kinder Benjamin, Sauls Brüder, dreitausend; denn bis auf die Zeit hielten ihrer noch viele an dem Hause Sauls;
30 There were 20,800 men from the tribe of Ephraim who were all brave warriors and trained for fighting battles and famous in their own clans.
der Kinder Ephraim zwanzigtausend und achthundert, redliche Helden und berühmte Männer im Hause ihrer Väter;
31 There were 18,000 men from the half of the tribe of Manasseh [that lived west of the Jordan River]. They were all chosen to go and help David become the king.
des halben Stamms Manasse achtzehntausend, die mit Namen genannt wurden, daß sie kämen und machten David zum Könige;
32 There were 200 men who were leaders from the tribe of Issachar, along with their relatives. Those leaders always knew what the Israelis should do, and they knew the right time to do it.
der Kinder Isaschar, die verständig waren und rieten, was zu jeder Zeit Israel tun sollte, zweihundert Hauptleute; und alle ihre Brüder folgten ihrem Wort;
33 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.
von Sebulon, die ins Heer zogen zum Streit, gerüstet mit allerlei Waffen zum Streit, fünfzigtausend, sich in die Ordnung zu schicken einträchtiglich;
34 There were 1,000 officers from the tribe of Naphtali. With them were 37,000 soldiers, each carrying shields and spears.
von Naphthali tausend Hauptleute und mit ihnen, die Schild und Spieß führeten, siebenunddreißigtausend;
35 There were 28,600 soldiers from the tribe of Dan, all trained to fight battles.

36 There were 47,000 experienced soldiers from the tribe of Asher, all trained to fight battles.
von Asser, die ins Heer zogen, gerüstet zum Streit, vierzigtausend;
37 There were also 120,000 soldiers from the area east of the Jordan [River who joined David]. They were from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the eastern half of the tribe of Manasseh. They had all kinds of weapons.
von jenseit des Jordans, von den Rubenitern, Gaditern und halben Stamm Manasse mit allerlei Waffen zum Streit hundertundzwanzigtausend.
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.
Alle diese Kriegsleute, den Zeug zu ordnen, kamen von ganzem Herzen gen Hebron, David zum Könige zu machen über ganz Israel. Auch war alles andere Israel eines Herzens, daß man David zum Könige machte.
39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, because their families had given them food to take with them.
Und waren daselbst bei David drei Tage, aßen und tranken; denn ihre Brüder hatten für sie zubereitet.
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.
Auch welche die nächsten um sie waren, bis hin an Isaschar, Sebulon und Naphthali, die brachten Brot auf Eseln, Kamelen, Mäulern und Rindern zu essen, Mehl, Feigen, Rosinen, Wein, Öl Rinder, Schafe die Menge; denn es war eine Freude in Israel.
