8 Sed et de Gaddi transfugerunt ad David cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi, et pugnatores optimi, tenentes clypeum et hastam : facies eorum quasi facies leonis, et veloces quasi capreæ in montibus :	8 Joelah, Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
9 Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,	9 From the Gadites, some good, capable fighting men defected and came to David at the stronghold inthe desert -- al skil ed with shield and spear, fierce as lions and nimble as mountain gazel es.

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 the leaders of the troops, the least of them a match for a hundred men and thegreatest a match for a thousand.
16 Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur David.	16 These were the men who once crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed itsbanks and had driven out al the lowlanders to east and 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 of the Benjaminites and Judahites also joined 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 When David came forward to meet them, he responded to them by saying, 'If you have come to mewith peaceful intent to help me, you will find me a good friend. But if it is to betray me to my enemies, seeing thatI have done nothing wrong, may the God of our ancestors take note and condemn 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 the Spirit invested Amasai the leader of the Thirty: 'We are your men, David; with you, son ofJesse! Peace be with you, peace be with you; peace be with those who help you! For your God has helped you!'And David accepted them, including them among his more senior officers.
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 Some Manassehites also defected to David as he was setting out with the Philistines to fight Saul.But he did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their chiefs sent him away, saying, 'He wil defectto his master Saul and it wil cost us our heads!'
21 Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos : omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.	21 He was on his way to Ziklag when these Manassehites deserted to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael,Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, Zil ethai, chiefs of thousands in 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 and his band, since they were al men of standing and became officers in thearmy.
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 Indeed reinforcements reached David day after day, so that his camp grew into a camp of prodigioussize.
24 Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.	24 These are the numbers of ful y armed men who joined David at Hebron to transfer Saul's kingdom tohim in accordance with the order of Yahweh:
25 De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.	25 Judahites carrying shield and spear: six thousand eight hundred ful y armed warriors;
26 De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.	26 Simeonites; seven thousand one hundred champions valiant in war;
27 Jojoda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.	27 Levites: four thousand six hundred,

30 Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.	30 Benjaminites: three thousand kinsmen of Saul, most of them hitherto in the service of the House ofSaul;

39 Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes : præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.	39 Al these warriors in battle array came to David at Hebron with the firm determination of makingDavid king of al Israel; and the rest of Israel, too, was of one mind in wanting 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 For three days they stayed there with David, eating and drinking, their fellow-tribesmen having madepreparations for them;
	41 their neighbours too, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came bringing food ondonkeys, camels, mules and oxen-supplies of flour, fig cakes, bunches of raisins, wine, oil, quantities of oxenand sheep -- for there was joy in Israel.
