1 Chronicles 12

1Now 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.

וְאֵלֶּה הַבָּאִים אֶל־דָּוִיד לְצִיקְלַג עֹוד עָצוּר מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל בֶּן־קִישׁ וְהֵמָּה בַּגִּבֹּורִים עֹזְרֵי הַמִּלְחָמָה׃ (2577)

2They 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.

נֹשְׁקֵי קֶשֶׁת מַיְמִינִים וּמַשְׂמִאלִים בָּאֲבָנִים וּבַחִצִּים בַּקָּשֶׁת מֵאֲחֵי שָׁאוּל מִבִּנְיָמִן׃ (3578)

3The 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.

הָרֹאשׁ אֲחִיעֶזֶר וְיֹואָשׁ בְּנֵי הַשְּׁמָעָה הַגִּבְעָתִי [וִיזוּאֵל כ] (וִיזִיאֵל ק) וָפֶלֶט בְּנֵי עַזְמָוֶת וּבְרָכָה וְיֵהוּא הָעֲנְּתֹתִי׃ (4247)

4And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

וְיִשְׁמַעְיָה הַגִּבְעֹונִי גִּבֹּור בַּשְּׁלֹשִׁים וְעַל־הַשְּׁלֹשִׁים׃ וְיִרְמְיָה וְיַחֲזִיאֵל וְיֹוחָנָן וְיֹוזָבָד הַגְּדֵרָתִי׃ (3401)

5Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

אֶלְעוּזַי וִירִימֹות וּבְעַלְיָה וּשְׁמַרְיָהוּ וּשְׁפַטְיָהוּ [הַחֲרִיפִי כ] (הַחֲרוּפִי׃ ק) (2644)

6Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,

אֶלְקָנָה וְיִשִּׁיָּהוּ וַעֲזַרְאֵל וְיֹועֶזֶר וְיָשָׁבְעָם הַקָּרְחִים׃ (1927)

7And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

וְיֹועֵאלָה וּזְבַדְיָה בְּנֵי יְרֹחָם מִן־הַגְּדֹור׃ (790)

8And 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;

וּמִן־הַגָּדִי נִבְדְּלוּ אֶל־דָּוִיד לַמְצַד מִדְבָּרָה גִּבֹּרֵי הַחַיִל אַנְשֵׁי צָבָא לַמִּלְחָמָה עֹרְכֵי צִנָּה וָרֹמַח וּפְנֵי אַרְיֵה פְּנֵיהֶם וְכִצְבָאיִם עַל־הֶהָרִים לְמַהֵר׃ (3605)

9Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

עֵזֶר הָרֹאשׁ עֹבַדְיָה הַשֵּׁנִי אֱלִיאָב הַשְּׁלִשִׁי׃ (1928)

10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

מִשְׁמַנָּה הָרְבִיעִי יִרְמְיָה הַחֲמִשִׁי׃ (1360)

11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

עַתַּי הַשִּׁשִּׁי אֱלִיאֵל הַשְּׁבִעִי׃ (1554)

12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

יֹוחָנָן הַשְּׁמִינִי אֶלְזָבָד הַתְּשִׁיעִי׃ (1378)

13Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

יִרְמְיָהוּ הָעֲשִׂירִי ס מַכְבַּנַּי עַשְׁתֵּי עָשָׂר׃ (2398)

14These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

אֵלֶּה מִבְּנֵי־גָד רָאשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶחָד לְמֵאָה הַקָּטָן וְהַגָּדֹול לְאָלֶף׃ (1202)

15These 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.

אֵלֶּה הֵם אֲשֶׁר עָבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשֹׁון וְהוּא מְמַלֵּא עַל־כָּל־ [גִּדיֹתָיו כ] (גְּדֹותָיו ק) וַיַּבְרִיחוּ אֶת־כָּל־הָעֲמָקִים לַמִּזְרָח וְלַמַּעֲרָב׃ (5258)

16And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.

וַיָּבֹאוּ מִן־בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וִיהוּדָה עַד־לַמְצָד לְדָוִיד׃ (657)

17And 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.

וַיֵּצֵא דָוִיד לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אִם־לְשָׁלֹום בָּאתֶם אֵלַי לְעָזְרֵנִי יִהְיֶה־לִּי עֲלֵיכֶם לֵבָב לְיָחַד וְאִם־לְרַמֹּותַנִי לְצָרַי בְּלֹא חָמָס בְּכַפַּי יֵרֶא אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹותֵינוּ וְיֹוכַח׃ (4586)

18Then 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.

וְרוּחַ לָבְשָׁה אֶת־עֲמָשַׂי רֹאשׁ [הַשְּׁלֹושִׁים כ] (הַשָּׁלִישִׁים ק) לְךָ דָוִיד וְעִמְּךָ בֶן־יִשַׁי שָׁלֹום ׀ שָׁלֹום לְךָ וְשָׁלֹום לְעֹזְרֶךָ כִּי עֲזָרְךָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ וַיְקַבְּלֵם דָּוִיד וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּרָאשֵׁי הַגְּדוּד׃ (7124)

19And 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.

וּמִמְּנַשֶּׁה נָפְלוּ עַל־דָּוִיד בְּבֹאֹו עִם־פְּלִשְׁתִּים עַל־שָׁאוּל לַמִּלְחָמָה וְלֹא עֲזָרֻם כִּי בְעֵצָה שִׁלְּחֻהוּ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים לֵאמֹר בְּרָאשֵׁינוּ יִפֹּול אֶל־אֲדֹנָיו שָׁאוּל׃ (5787)

20As 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.

בְּלֶכְתֹּו אֶל־צִיקְלַג נָפְלוּ עָלָיו ׀ מִמְּנַשֶּׁה עַדְנַח וְיֹוזָבָד וִידִיעֲאֵל וּמִיכָאֵל וְיֹוזָבָד וֶאֱלִיהוּא וְצִלְּתָי רָאשֵׁי הָאֲלָפִים אֲשֶׁר לִמְנַשֶּׁה׃ (4077)

21And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

וְהֵמָּה עָזְרוּ עִם־דָּוִיד עַל־הַגְּדוּד כִּי־גִבֹּורֵי חַיִל כֻּלָּם וַיִּהְיוּ שָׂרִים בַּצָּבָא׃ (1666)

22For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.

כִּי לְעֶת־יֹום בְּיֹום יָבֹאוּ עַל־דָּוִיד לְעָזְרֹו עַד־לְמַחֲנֶה גָדֹול כְּמַחֲנֵה אֱלֹהִים׃ (1559)

23And 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.

וְאֵלֶּה מִסְפְּרֵי רָאשֵׁי הֶחָלוּץ לַצָּבָא בָּאוּ עַל־דָּוִיד חֶבְרֹונָה לְהָסֵב מַלְכוּת שָׁאוּל אֵלָיו כְּפִי יְהוָה׃ (2722)

24The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה נֹשְׂאֵי צִנָּה וָרֹמַח שֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וּשְׁמֹונֶה מֵאֹות חֲלוּצֵי צָבָא׃ (3104)

25Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

מִן־בְּנֵי שִׁמְעֹון גִּבֹּורֵי חַיִל לַצָּבָא שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וּמֵאָה׃ (1995)

26Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

מִן־בְּנֵי הַלֵּוִי אַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאֹות׃ (2090)
