1 Tawarikh 12
1 Ketika Daud melarikan diri dari Raja Saul, ia mengungsi ke Ziklag. Banyak pejuang yang setia dan berpengalaman datang bergabung dengan Daud.
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,
2 Mereka dari suku Benyamin seperti Saul. Mereka pandai memanah dan mengumban--baik dengan tangan kanan maupun dengan tangan kiri.
bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:

the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.
Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;
and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;

and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.
8 Pada waktu Daud berada di tempat berkubu di padang gurun, banyak pejuang terkenal dan berpengalaman dari suku Gad datang bergabung dengan dia. Mereka adalah pejuang-pejuang yang sangat mahir memakai perisai dan tombak; mereka kelihatan berani-berani seperti singa dan gerak mereka gesit seperti rusa.
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 Inilah nama-nama mereka yang disusun menurut pangkat: Ezer, Obaja, Eliab, Mismana, Yeremia, Atai, Eliel, Yohanan, Elzabad, Yeremia, Makhbanai.
Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.
14 Sebagian dari orang-orang Gad itu adalah perwira-perwira tinggi yang mengepalai 1.000 orang; sebagian lagi adalah perwira-perwira yang mengepalai 100 orang.
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 Pernah terjadi pada bulan satu, ketika Sungai Yordan sedang banjir perwira-perwira itu menyeberangi sungai itu dan mengusir penduduk lembah-lembah baik yang di sebelah timur maupun yang di sebelah barat sungai itu.
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 Suatu waktu sekelompok orang dari suku Benyamin dan Yehuda pergi ke kubu tempat tinggal Daud.
Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
17 Daud menemui mereka dan berkata, "Kalau kalian datang sebagai kawan untuk menolong saya, silahkan bergabung dengan kami. Kami menyambut kalian dengan senang hati. Tetapi kalau kalian bermaksud mengkhianati saya kepada musuh, sekalipun saya tidak berbuat jahat kepada kalian, Allah yang disembah leluhur kita mengetahuinya, dan Ia akan menghukum kalian."
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 Salah seorang dari mereka, yaitu Amasai, yang kemudian menjadi pemimpin kelompok yang disebut "Tridasawira", dikuasai oleh Roh Allah lalu berkata, "Daud, anak Isai! Kami menyokong engkau! Semoga engkau dan mereka yang membantumu berhasil. Allah ada di pihakmu!" Maka Daud menyambut mereka dan mengangkat mereka menjadi perwira di dalam angkatan perangnya.
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 Ketika Daud bersama orang Filistin memerangi Raja Saul, sebagian dari prajurit suku Manasye menyeberang ke pihak Daud. Sebenarnya Daud tidak membantu orang-orang Filistin itu. Para pemimpin Filistin menyuruh dia pulang ke Ziklag karena mereka takut ia akan menyeberang ke pihak Raja Saul dan mengkhianati mereka.
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 Inilah nama-nama para pejuang dari suku Manasye yang menyeberang ke pihak Daud ketika ia dalam perjalanan ke Ziklag: Adnah, Yozabad, Yediael, Mikhael, Yozabad, Elihu dan Ziletai. Masing-masing mengepalai 1.000 prajurit.
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 Mereka pejuang yang perkasa dan membantu Daud melawan gerombolan. Di kemudian hari mereka menjadi perwira-perwira di dalam angkatan perang Israel.
These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
22 Hampir setiap hari ada orang baru yang bergabung dengan Daud, sehingga tak lama kemudian pasukan Daud menjadi sangat besar.
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 Ketika Daud di Hebron banyak pejuang yang terlatih menggabungkan diri dengan dia. Mereka membantu dia supaya ia bisa menjadi raja menggantikan Saul, sesuai dengan janji TUHAN. Jumlah mereka adalah sebagai berikut: Dari suku Yehuda: 6.800 orang, lengkap dengan perisai dan tombak. Dari suku Simeon: 7.100 orang terlatih. Dari suku Lewi: 4.600 orang. Anak buah Yoyada pemimpin keturunan Harun: 3.700 orang. Sanak saudara Zadok, seorang pejuang muda yang berani: 22 orang--semuanya kepala keluarga. Dari suku Benyamin (suku Raja Saul): 3.000 orang; kebanyakan dari suku Benyamin tetap setia kepada Saul. Dari suku Efraim: 20.800 orang kenamaan dalam kaumnya masing-masing. Dari suku Manasye yang di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan: 18.000 orang yang ditunjuk untuk menobatkan Daud menjadi raja. Dari suku Isakhar: 200 pemimpin bersama anak buah mereka; pemimpin-pemimpin ini pandai menentukan apa yang harus dilakukan rakyat Israel pada waktu yang tepat. Dari suku Zebulon: 50.000 orang yang mahir memakai segala macam senjata, dan siap untuk bertempur; mereka adalah orang-orang yang setia dan terpercaya. Dari suku Naftali: 1.000 pemimpin bersama 37.000 prajurit yang lengkap dengan perisai dan tombak. Dari suku Dan: 28.600 orang yang terlatih. Dari suku Asyer: 40.000 orang yang siap untuk bertempur. Dari suku-suku di sebelah timur Yordan, yaitu Ruben, Gad dan sebagian suku Manasye: 120.000 orang yang mahir memakai segala macam senjata.
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:
the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;
from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;
as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.
Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.
Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.
Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.
And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
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 Semua pejuang itu pergi ke Hebron dalam keadaan siap tempur dan bertekad untuk mengangkat Daud menjadi raja seluruh Israel. Dan semua orang Israel yang lain pun sehati untuk melakukan hal itu.
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 Tiga hari lamanya pejuang-pejuang itu tinggal di situ dengan Daud sambil berpesta dan menikmati makanan dan minuman yang disediakan untuk mereka oleh orang-orang Israel lainnya.
And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
40 Dari suku-suku utara yang jauh pun yaitu dari suku Isakhar, Zebulon dan Naftali, orang berdatangan dengan keledai, unta, bagal, dan sapi yang sarat dengan muatan bahan makanan: tepung, buah ara, kismis, anggur dan minyak zaitun. Mereka juga membawa sapi dan domba untuk dipotong dan dimakan. Semuanya itu menunjukkan betapa gembiranya rakyat di seluruh 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.
