DIODATI	KING JAMES BIBLE
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,	1 Now these are they that 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, helpers of the 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:	2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even 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;	3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,
4 ed Ismaia Gabaonita, il più valoroso dei trenta, sopra i quali egli avea il reggimento; e Geremia, e Iahaziel, e Iohanan, e Iozabad Ghederatita;	4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
5 Elusai, e Ierimot, e Bealia, e Semaria, e Sefatia Harufita;	5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
6 Elcana, ed Issia, e Azareel, ed Ioezer, e Iasobam, Coriti;	6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
7 e Ioela, e Zebadia, figliuoli di Ieroham, da Ghedor.	7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
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.	8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Ezer era il primo, Obadia il secondo, Eliab il terzo,	9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mismanna il quarto, Geremia il quinto,	10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai il sesto, Eliel il settimo,	11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Iohanan l’ottavo, Elzabad il nono,	12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Geremia il decimo, Macbannai l’undecimo.	13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 Costoro, d’infra i figliuoli di Gad, furono capitani dell’esercito; il minimo comandava a cent’uomini, il maggiore a mille.	14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over 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 nelle valli, verso Oriente, e verso Occidente.	15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his 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.	16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold 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.	17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
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.	18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine 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 delle nostre teste.	19 And there fell some of Manasseh 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 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.	20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the 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.	21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: 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	22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it 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:	23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and 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.	24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
25 De’ figliuoli di Simeone, valenti e prodi per la guerra, vennero settemila cento.	25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
26 De’ figliuoli di Levi, quattromila seicento;	26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
27 insieme con Gioiada, conduttore de’ discendenti d’Aaronne, ed avea seco tremila settecento uomini;	27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
28 e Sadoc, giovane prode e valoroso, con ventidue de’ principali delle casa di suo padre.	28 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.	29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.
30 E de’ figliuoli di Efraim, ventimila ottocent’uomini valorosi, e famosi nelle lor famiglie paterne.	30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 E della mezza tribù di Manasse, diciottomila, i quali furono nominatamente deputati per venire a costituir Davide re.	31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
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.	32 And of the children of Issachar, which were 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.
33 Di Zabulon vennero, di cuor sincero, cinquantamila uomini guerrieri, in ordine per la guerra, armati di tutte armi, ed ammaestrati a mettersi in ordinanza.	33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
34 E di Neftali, mille capitani, avendo seco trentasettemila uomini, con scudo e lancia.	34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
35 E de’ Daniti, ventottomila seicento in ordine per la guerra.	35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
36 E di Aser, quarantamila uomini guerrieri, ammaestrati ad ordinarsi in battaglia.	36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
37 E di quelli di là dal Giordano, de’ Rubeniti, de’ Gaditi, e della mezza tribù di Manasse, cenventimila uomini armati di tutte armi da combattere.	37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an 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.	38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect 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.	39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared 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	40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
