1 Cronache 12
1 OR questi [furono] quelli che vennero a Davide in Siclag, mentre era ancora rattenuto [là], per tema di Saulle, figliuolo di Chis; i quali [erano] fra gli uomini prodi, buoni combattenti,
Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he was yet shut up because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
2 armati di archi, tiratori di pietre [con la frombola], e di saette con l'arco, così della man sinistra, come della destra. De' fratelli di Saulle, di Beniamino:
They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow; they were of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.
3 Ahiezer, capo, e Ioas, figliuoli di Semaa, da Ghibea; e Ieziel, e Pelet, figliuoli di Azmavet; e Beraca, e Iehu Anatotita;
The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite;

and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of the troop.
8 [Alcuni] eziandio de' Gaditi si appartarono per ridursi appresso a Davide, nella fortezza nel deserto, uomini prodi nelle armi, [e] guerrieri, armati di rotelle e di scudi; e parevano leoni in faccia, e cavriuoli in su i monti, in velocità.
And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valour, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Ezer [era] il primo, Obadia il secondo, Eliab il terzo,
Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third;
10 Mismanna il quarto, Geremia il quinto,
Mashmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth;
11 Attai il sesto, Eliel il settimo,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh;
12 Iohanan l'ottavo, Elzabad il nono,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth;
13 Geremia il decimo, Macbannai l'undecimo.
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14 Costoro, d'infra i figliuoli di Gad, [furono] capitani dell'esercito; il minimo comandava a cent'[uomini], il maggiore a mille.
These of the sons of Gad were captains of the host; he that was least was equal to a hundred, and the greatest to a thousand.
15 Questi [furono] quelli che passarono il Giordano al primo mese, quando è pieno fin sopra tutte le sue rive; e cacciarono tutti [quelli che stavano nel]le valli, verso Oriente, e verso Occidente.
These are they that went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 Vennero ancora de' figliuoli di Beniamino, e di Giuda, a Davide, nella fortezza.
And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold unto David.
17 E Davide uscì loro incontro, e parlò loro, e disse: Se voi siete venuti a me da buoni amici, per soccorrermi, l'animo mio sarà inverso voi, per esser in buona unione insieme; ma [se siete venuti] per tradirmi a' miei nemici, quantunque non [vi sia] alcuna violenza nelle mie mani, l'Iddio de' nostri padri [lo] vegga, e [ne] faccia la punizione.
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them: 'If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye be come to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and give judgment.'
18 Allora lo Spirito investì Amasai, capo di que' capitani; ed [egli disse]: [Noi siamo] tuoi, o Davide, e [staremo] teco, o figliuolo d'Isai. Pace, pace a te, e pace a quelli che ti soccorrono; conciossiachè l'Iddio tuo ti soccorra. E Davide li accolse, e li costituì fra i capitani delle [sue] schiere.
Then the spirit clothed Amasai, who was chief of the captains: Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse; peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 Alcuni ancora di Manasse andarono ad arrendersi a Davide, quando egli venne co' Filistei, per combattere contro a Saulle. Ma [Davide] non diede loro alcun soccorso; perciocchè i principi dei Filistei, per [comun] consiglio, lo rimandarono, dicendo: Egli si rivolterà a Saulle, suo signore, al [rischio del]le nostre teste.
Of Manasseh also there fell away some 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 away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.'
20 Quando egli [di là] andò in Siclag, Adna, e Iozabad, e Iediael, e Micael, e Iozabad, ed Elihu, e Silletai, d'infra i Manassiti, capi di migliaia di Manasse, andarono ad arrendersi a lui.
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 Ed essi diedero soccorso a Davide contro alle schiere che aveano fatta quella correria; perciocchè [erano] tutti uomini valenti, onde furono fatti capitani nell'esercito.
And they helped David against the troop, for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 Perciocchè di giorno in giorno venivano [genti] a Davide, per soccorrerlo, fino a [fare] un campo grande, come un campo di Dio.
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great host, like the host of God.
23 OR queste [son] le somme delle schiere di quelli che vennero a Davide in Hebron, in armi per la guerra, per trasportare in lui il reame di Saulle, secondo la parola del Signore:
And these are the numbers of the heads of them that were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.
24 De' figliuoli di Giuda, che portavano scudo e lancia, [vennero] seimila ottocento in armi per la guerra.

and Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
29 E de' figliuoli di Beniamino, fratelli di Saulle, [sol] tremila; perciocchè la maggior parte di essi fino allora tenea la parte della casa di Saulle.
And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand; for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.

32 E de' figliuoli d'Issacar, [vennero uomini] intendenti nella conoscenza dei tempi, per saper ciò che Israele avea da fare; i lor capi [erano] dugento, e tutti i lor fratelli si reggevano per loro avviso.
And of the children of Issachar, 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.

And on the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.
38 Tutti questi uomini di guerra vennero in ordinanza, di cuore intiero in Hebron, per costituir Davide re sopra tutto Israele. Tutto il rimanente d'Israele ancora [era] d'uno stesso animo per far Davide re.
All these, being men of war, that could order the battle array, came with a whole 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 E [quella gente] stette quivi tre giorni con Davide, mangiando e bevendo; perciocchè i lor fratelli aveano loro provveduto.
And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation for them.
40 Ed anche i lor prossimi parenti, fin da Issacar, e Zabulon, e Neftali, portavano sopra asini, e sopra cammelli, [e menavano] con muli, e con buoi, pane, [ed altra] vittuaglia di farina, fichi secchi, ed uve secche, e vino, ed olio; e [menavano] eziandio buoi, e pecore, in gran quantità; perciocchè [vi era] allegrezza in Israele.
Moreover they that were nigh unto them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victual of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
