9 Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,	9 Some of the Gadites also went over to David when he was at the stronghold in the wilderness.

15 Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas : et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.	15 These Gadites were army commanders, the lesser placed over hundreds and the greater over thousands.
16 Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur David.	16 It was they who crossed over the Jordan when it was overflowing both its banks in the first month, and dispersed all who were in the valleys to the east and to the west.
17 Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait : Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum jungatur vobis : si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et judicet.	17 Some Benjaminites and Judahites also came to David at the stronghold.
18 Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait : Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai. Pax, pax tibi, et pax adjutoribus tuis : te enim adjuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmæ.	18 David went out to meet them and addressed them in these words: "If you come peacefully, to help me, I am of a mind to have you join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies though my hands have done no wrong, may the God of our fathers see and punish you."
19 Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthiim 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.	19 Then spirit enveloped Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, who spoke: "We are yours, O David, we are with you, O son of Jesse. Peace, peace to you, and peace to him who helps you; your God it is who helps you." So David received them and placed them among the leaders of his troops.
20 Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Jozabad, et Jedihel, et Michaël, et Ednas, et Jozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes millium in Manasse.	20 Men from Manasseh also deserted to David when he came with the Philistines to battle against Saul. However, he did not help the Philistines, for their lords took counsel and sent him home, saying, "At the cost of our heads he will desert to his master Saul."
21 Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos : omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.	21 As he was returning to Ziklag, therefore, these deserted to him from Manasseh: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands of Manasseh.
22 Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.	22 They helped David by taking charge of his troops, for they were all warriors and became commanders of his army.
23 Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.	23 And from day to day men kept coming to David's help until there was a vast encampment, like an encampment of angels.
24 Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.	24 This is the muster of the detachments of armed troops that came to David at Hebron to transfer to him Saul's kingdom, as the LORD had ordained.

30 Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.	30 Of the Benjaminites, the brethren of Saul: three thousand--until this time, most of them had held their allegiance to the house of Saul.

38 Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israël : sed et omnes reliqui ex Israël uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.	38 From the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, men equipped with every kind of weapon of war: one hundred and twenty thousand.
39 Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes : præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.	39 All these soldiers, drawn up in battle order, came to Hebron with the resolute intention of making David king over all Israel. The rest of Israel was likewise of one mind to make David king.
40 Sed et qui juxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar, et Zabulon, et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis, et camelis, et mulis, et bobus ad vescendum : farinam, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, arietes ad omnem copiam : gaudium quippe erat in Israël.	40 They remained with David for three days, feasting and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.
	41 Moreover, their neighbors from as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on asses, camels, mules, and oxen--provisions in great quantity of meal, pressed figs, raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep. For there was rejoicing in Israel.
