1 Questi pure andarono a trovar David in Siceleg, mentre egli era tutt'ora fuggiasco per paura di Saul figliuolo di Cis; ed erano uomini fortissimi, e illustri nel mestiero delle armi,	1 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 Abili a tendere l'arco, e a scagliar sassi colla fionda con ambedue le mani, e a tirar diritte le frecce: erano congiunti di sangue con Saul, e della tribù di Beniamin.	2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:
3 Il principale era Ahiezer, e poi Joas, ambedue figliuoli di Sammaa di Gabaatb, e Jaziel, e Phalleth, figli uoli di Àzmoth, e Baracha, e Jehu di Anathoth.	3 the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.
4 E Samaia di Gabaon, il più valo roso de' trenta, e capo dei trenta: Jeremia, e Jeheziel, e Johanan, e Iozabad di Gaderoth.	4 Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;
5 Ed Eluzai, e Jerimuth, e Baalia, e Samaria, e Saphathia di Haruph.	5 and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;
6 Elcana, e Jesia, e Azareel, e Joezer, e Jesbaan di Carehim.	6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;

8 Parimente della tribù di Gad si rifugiarono presso David, quando egli stava nascosto nel deserto, uomini fortissimi, e campioni valorosi, armati di scudo, e di lancia: egli aveano facce come di lioni, ed erano snelli, come le capre di montagna.	8 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 Il principale di essi Ezer, Obdia il secondo, il terzo Eliab,	9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Il quarto Masnana, Jeremla il quinto,	10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

14 Questi erano della tribù di Gad principi dell'esercito: il minimo di essi avea il comando di cento soldati, il massimo di mille.	14 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 Questi sono, che passarono il Giordano il primo mese, quando egli suole uscir del suo letto, e soverchiar le sue rive: e posero in fuga tutti quelli, che stavano nelle valli dalla parte d'oriente, e da quella d'occidente.	15 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 Vennero anche di quelli di Beniamin, e di Giuda a quel sito forte, dove stava David.	16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.
17 E David andò loro incontro, e disse: Se voi con buon fine siete venuti da me a porgermi aiuto, il mio cuore sarà unito col vostro: ma se voi mi tendete insidie, secondando i miei avversari, mentre io ho pure le mani da ogni peccato, siane testimone, e giudice il Dio de' padri nostri.	17 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 E Amasai capo dei trenta mosso dallo spirito, disse: Noi siam tuoi, o Davidde, e siam con te, o figliuolo di Isai: pace, pace a te, e pace a quelli, che ti porgono aiuto: perocché il tuo Dio ti porge aiuto. Davidde allora gli accolse, e li fece dei principali nelle sue schiere.	18 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 Venner pure di que' di Manasse a Davidde, mentre egli era in cammino co' Filistei, per combattere contro Saul: ma egli non combattè insieme con loro; perchè i principi de' Filistei, tenuto consiglio, lo rimandarono indietro, dicendo: Egli si riunirà col suo signore Saul a spese delle nostre teste.	19 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 Or quando egli fu ritornato a Siceleg, si rifugiarono presso di lui di quelli di Manasse, Ednas, e Jozabad, e Jedihel, e Michael, ed Ednas, e Jozabad, ed Eliu, e Salathi, i quali comandavano a mille uomini di Manasse:	20 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 Questi diedero aiuto a David contro i ladroni: perocché eran tutti uomini fortissimi, e furono fatti principi nell'esercito.	21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.
22 E ogni giorno veniva gente a David in suo soccorso, onde egli ebbe finalmente un grande esercito.	22 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 Questo è parimente il numero dei capi dell'esercito, i quali andarono a trovar David mentre era in Hebron, per trasferire a lui il regno di Saul, secondo la parola del Signore.	23 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:
24 Figliuoli di Giuda armati di scudo, e di lancia, e in Ordine per combattere, sei mila ottocento.	24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;
25 Figliuoli di Simeon uomini fortissimi per la guerra, sette mila cento.	25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;
26 Figliuoli di Levi, quattro mila seicento.	26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;
27 Joiada principe della stirpe a Aaron avea seco tre mila settecento uomini.	27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
28 Parimente Sadoc giovinetto di ottima indole (venne) colla casa del padre suo, e con ventidue capi di famiglie.	28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;
29 De' figliuoli di Beni amia fratelli di Saul, tre mila: perocché una gran parte di essi seguiva tutt'ora il partito della casa di Saul.	29 and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.
30 Figliuoli di Ephraim, venti mila ottocento uomini fortissimi, e di gran nome nelle loro famiglie.	30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.
31 E della mezza tribù di Manasse, diciotto mila scelti nominatamente a uno a uno vennero a creare re Davidde.	31 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.
32 E de figliuoli d'Issachar vennero degli uomini sapienti, i quali sapean discernere ciascnedun tempo, affine d'indicare quel, che dovesse fare Israele: erano dugento principi, e tutto il resto della tribù si rimetteva al loro parere.	32 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.
33 Quelli di Zàbulon esercitati nella guerra, e armati come in ordine di battaglia, vennero in aiuto in numero di cinquanta mila con un sol cuore.	33 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.
34 Edi Nephthali mille principi, e con essi trentasette mila uomini armati di scudo, e di lancia.	34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.
35 Parimente di Dan, vent'otto mila secento preparati come per dar battaglia.	35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.
36 E di Aser quaranta mila buoni per la guerra, e pronti a menar le mani.	36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.
37 E di quei di là dal Giordano, de' figliuoli di Ruben, e di Gad, e della mezza tribù di Manasse, cento venti mila ben armati per combattere.	37 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 Tutti questi uomini guerrieri pronti a combattere, con ottimo cuore si raunarono in Hebron per creare Davidde re di tutto Israele; ma oltre a questo, tutti parimente gl'Israeliti concordavan su questo punto di fare re Davidde.	38 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 E si trattenner ivi presso Davidde tre giorni mangiando; e Devendo, avendone fatte le provisioni i loro fratelli.	39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.
40 Di più i vicini, e fin quelli d'Issachar, e di Zàbulon, e di Nephthali portavano pane da mangiare sopra gli asini, sopra i cammelli, e i muli, e i buoi, e farina, e fichi secchi, e uva passa, e vino, e olio, e bovi, e arieti ingrande abbondanza: perocché il gaudioregnava in Israele.	40 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.
