CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
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,	1 Hi quoque venerunt ad Da vid in Siceleg, cum adhuc fu geret Saul filium Cis; qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores
2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:	2 tendentes arcum et utraque manu fundis saxa iacientes et dirigentes sagittas. De fratribus Saul ex Beniamin:
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.	3 princeps Ahiezer et Ioas filii Samaa Gabaathites et Iaziel et Phalet filii Azmaveth et Baracha et Iehu Anathothites;
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;	4 Iesmaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta,
5 and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;	5 Ieremias et Iahaziel et Iohanan et Iozabad Gederothites,
6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;	6 Eluzai et Ierimoth et Baalia et Samaria et Saphatia Haruphites,
7 and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.	7 Elcana et Iesia et Azareel et Ioezer et Iesbaam Coritae,
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.	8 Ioela quoque et Zabadia filii Ieroham de Gedor.
9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,	9 Sed et de Gad transfugerunt ad David, cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi et pugnatores optimi tenentes clipeum et hastam; facies eorum quasi facies leonis et veloces quasi capreae in montibus:
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,	10 Ezer princeps, Abdias secundus, Eliab tertius,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,	11 Masmana quartus, Ieremias quintus,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,	12 Etthei sextus, Eliel septimus,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.	13 Iohanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,
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.	14 Ieremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.
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.	15 Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus, minimus contra centum praevalebat et maximus contra mille.
16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.	16 Isti sunt qui transierunt Iordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas, et omnes fugaverunt, qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.
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.”	17 Venerunt autem et de Beniamin et de Iuda ad praesidium, in quo morabatur David.
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.	18 Egressusque est David obviam eis et ait: “ Si pacifice venistis ad me, ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum iungatur vobis; si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum et iudicet ”.
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.”	19 Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: “ Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai! Pax, pax tibi et pax adiutoribus tuis; te enim adiuvat Deus tuus ”. Suscepit ergo eos David et constituit principes turmae.
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.	20 Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthim adversus Saul, ut pugnaret; et non dimicavit cum eis, quia inito consilio remiserunt eum principes Philisthinorum dicentes: “ Periculo capitis nostri revertetur ad dominum suum Saul ”.
21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.	21 Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse Ednas et Iozabad et Iedihel et Michael et Iozabad et Eliu et Selathai principes milium in Manasse:
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.	22 hi praebuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos; omnes enim erant viri fortissimi et facti sunt principes in exercitu.
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:	23 Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus quasi exercitus Dei.
24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;	24 Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus, qui venerunt ad David, cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum iuxta verbum Domini.
25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;	25 Filii Iudae portantes clipeum et hastam sex milia octingenti expediti ad proelium.
26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;	26 De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum septem milia centum.
27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;	27 De filiis Levi quattuor milia sescenti;
28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;	28 Ioiada quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron et cum eo tria milia septingenti;
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.	29 Sadoc etiam iuvenis fortissimus et familia eius principes viginti duo.
30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.	30 De filiis autem Beniamin fratribus Saul tria milia; magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.
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.	31 Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti milia octingenti, fortissimi robore viri nominati in familiis suis.
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.	32 Et ex dimidia parte tribus Manasse decem et octo milia; singuli per nomina sua destinati, ut venirent et constituerent regem David.
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.	33 De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui norant singula tempora ad sciendum quid facere deberet Israel, principes ducenti et omnes fratres eorum ad iussa eorum.
34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.	34 Porro de Zabulon, qui egrediebantur ad proelium et stabant in acie instructi omnibus armis bellicis, quinquaginta milia venerunt, ut congregarentur non in corde duplici.
35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.	35 Et de Nephthali principes mille; et cum eis instructa clipeo et hasta triginta septem milia.
36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.	36 De Dan etiam praeparata ad proelium viginti octo milia sescenti.
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.	37 Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam et in acie procedentes quadraginta milia.
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.	38 Trans Iordanem autem de filiis Ruben et de Gad et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi omnibus armis bellicis, centum viginti milia.
39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.	39 Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israel; sed et omnes reliqui ex Israel uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.
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.	40 Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes; praeparaverunt enim eis fratres sui.
	41 Sed et qui iuxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar et Zabulon et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis et camelis et mulis et bobus, escam farinae, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, oves ad omnem copiam; gaudium quippe erat in Israel.
