¹Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

²They 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 brothers of Benjamin.

⁸Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, 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 on the mountains;

⁸Tudi izmed Gadovcev so se ločili nekateri, da bi bili z Davidom na trdnjavi v puščavi, hrabri junaki, izurjeni za vojsko, ki so bili spretni s ščitom in sulico, katerih obličja so bila kakor levja in ki so bili hitri kakor srne v gorah:

¹⁵These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

¹⁵Ti so, ki so šli čez Jordan v prvem mesecu, kadar navadno stopa čez vse svoje bregove, in zapodili so v beg vse prebivalce po dolinah, proti jutru in proti zahodu.

¹⁶There came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.

¹⁶In prišli so nekateri iz sinov Benjaminovih in Judovih v trdnjavo k Davidu.

¹⁷David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.”

¹⁷In David jim gre ven naproti in izpregovori ter jim reče: Ako ste prišli v miru k meni, da mi pomagate, se sklene srce moje z vami; ako ste pa prišli izdajat me mojim nasprotnikom, ko vendar ni krivice v rokah mojih, poglej to očetov naših Bog in kaznuj!

¹⁸Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

¹⁸Tedaj pride duh nad Amasaja, ki je bil poglavar med trideseterimi, in reče: Tvoji smo, David, in na tvoji strani, sin Jesejev! Mir, mir bodi tebi in mir tvojim pomočnikom, kajti Bog tvoj ti pomaga! Nato jih David sprejme in jih postavi za poglavarje trumi.

¹⁹Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn’t help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”

¹⁹Od Manaseja so tudi nekateri uskočili k Davidu, ko je prišel s Filistejci bojevat se zoper Savla, a ni jim smel pomagati, zakaj knezi Filistejcev so ga odslovili, ko so se bili posvetovali, rekoč: Za glavo bi nam šlo, ko bi uskočil h gospodu svojemu Savlu!

²⁰As 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 who were of Manasseh.

²⁰Ko je nato šel v Ziklag, so uskočili k njemu od Manaseja: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Mihael, Jozabad, Elihu in Ziletaj, poveljniki tisočim Manasejevim.

²¹They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

²¹In pomagali so Davidu zoper roparske čete, zakaj vsi so bili hrabri junaki; in postali so vojni poveljniki.
