1 Chronicles 12

1 Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Σικελὰγ, ἔτι συνεχομένου ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαοὺλ υἱοῦ Κίς· καὶ οὗτοι ἐν τοῖς δυνατοῖς βοηθοῦντες ἐν πολέμῳ,

2 καὶ τόξῳ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐκ ἀριστερῶν, καὶ σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις καὶ τόξοις· ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαοὺλ ἐκ Βενιαμὶν

3 ὁ ἄρχων Ἀχιέζερ, καὶ Ἰωὰς υἱὸς Ἀσμὰ τοῦ Γαβαθίτου, καὶ Ἰωὴλ, καὶ Ἰωφαλὴτ υἱοὶ Ἀσμὼθ, καὶ Βερχία, καὶ Ἰηοὺλ ὁ Ἀναθωθὶ,

4 καὶ Σαμαΐας ὁ Γαβαωνείτης δυνατὸς ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν τριάκοντα

5 Ἱερεμία, καὶ Ἰεζιὴλ, καὶ Ἰωανὰν, καὶ Ἰωαζαβὰθ ὁ Γαδαραθιῒμ,

6 Ἀζαῒ, καὶ Ἀριμοὺθ, καὶ Βααλιὰ, καὶ Σαμαραΐα, καὶ Σαφατίας ὁ Χαραιφιὴλ,

7 Ἑλκανὰ, καὶ Ἰησουνὶ, καὶ Ὀζριὴλ, καὶ Ἰωζαρὰ, καὶ Σοβοκὰμ, καὶ οἱ Κορῖται,

8 καὶ Ἰελία καὶ Ζαβαδία υἱοὶ ʼΙροὰμ, καὶ οἱ τοῦ Γεδώρ.

9 Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαδδὶ ἐχωρίσθησαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου ἰσχυροὶ δυνατοὶ ἄνδρες παρατάξεως πολέμου, αἴροντες θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα, καὶ πρόσωπον λέοντος τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν, καὶ κοῦφοι ὡς δορκάδες ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τῷ τάχει·

10 ʼΑζὰ ὁ ἄρχων, Ἀβδία ὁ δεύτερος, Ἐλιὰβ ὁ τρίτος,

11 Μασμανὰ ὁ τέταρτος, Ἱερεμίας ὁ πέμπτος,

12 Ἰεθὶ ὁ ἕκτος, Ἐλιὰβ ὁ ἕβδομος,

13 Ἰωανὰν ὁ ὄγδοος, Ἐλιαζὲρ ὁ ἔννατος,

14 Ἱερεμία ὁ δέκατος, Μελχαβαναὶ ὁ ἑνδέκατος.

15 Οὗτοι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Γὰδ ἄρχοντες τῆς στρατιᾶς, εἷς τοῖς ἑκατὸν μικρὸς, καὶ μέγας τοῖς χιλίοις.

16 Οὗτοι οἱ διαβάντες τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ· καὶ οὗτος πεπληρωκὼς ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κρηπίδα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξεδίωξαν πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐλῶνας ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν.

17 Καὶ ἦλθον ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν καὶ Ἰούδα εἰς βοήθειαν τοῦ Δαυίδ.

18 Καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην ἥκατε πρὸς μέ, εἴη μοι καρδία καθʼ ἑαυτὴν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς· καὶ εἰ τοῦ παραδοῦναί με τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου οὐκ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ χειρὸς, ἴδοι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλέγξαιτο.

19 Καὶ πνεῦμα ἐνέδυσε τὸν Ἀμασαὶ ἄρχοντα τῶν τριάκοντα, καὶ εἶπε, πορεύου καὶ ὁ λαός σου Δαυὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, εἰρήνη εἰρήνη σοι, καὶ εἰρήνη τοῖς βοηθοῖς σου, ὅτι ἐβοήθησέ σοι ὁ Θεός σου· καὶ προσεδέξατο αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων.

20 Καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ προσεχώρησαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ εἰς πόλεμον· καὶ οὐκ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἐν βουλῇ ἐγένετο παρὰ τῶν στρατηγῶν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων λεγόντων, ἐν ταῖς κεφαλαῖς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων ἐπιστρέψει πρὸς τὸν κυρίον αὐτοῦ Σαούλ.

21 Ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι τὸν Δαυίδ εἰς Σικελὰγ προσεχώρησαν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ, Ἐδνὰ, καὶ Ἰωζαβὰθ, καὶ Ῥωδιὴλ, καὶ Μιχαὴλ, καὶ Ἰωσαβαὶθ, καὶ Ἐλιμοὺθ, καὶ Σεμαθὶ· ἀρχηγοὶ χιλιάδων εἰσὶ τοῦ Μανασσῆ.

22 Καὶ αὐτοὶ συνεμάχησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν γεδδοὺρ, ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος πάντες· καὶ ἦσαν ἡγούμενοι ἐν τῇ στρατιᾷ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει,

23 ὅτι ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἤρχοντο πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς δύναμιν μεγάλην ὡς δύναμις τοῦ Θεοῦ.

24 Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀρχόντων τῆς στρατιᾶς, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν Σαοὺλ πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου.

25 Υἱοὶ Ἰούδα θυρεοφόροι καὶ δορατοφόροι, ἓξ χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι δυνατοὶ παρατάξεως.

26 Τῶν υἱῶν Συμεὼν, δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος εἰς παράταξιν, ἑπτὰ χιλιάδες καὶ ἑκατόν.

27 Τῶν υἱῶν Λευὶ, τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ ἑξακόσιοι.

28 Καὶ Ἰωαδὰς ὁ ἡγούμενος τῷ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι.

29 Καὶ Σαδὼκ νέος δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ, καὶ τῆς πατρικῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντες εἰκοσιδύο.

30 Καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαοὺλ, τρεῖς χιλιάδες· καὶ ἔτι τὸ πλεῖστον αὐτῶν ἀπεσκόπει τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου Σαούλ.

31 Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἐφραὶμ, εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι, δυνατοὶ ἰσχύϊ ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοὶ κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν.

32 Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ, δεκαοκτὼ χιλιάδες, καὶ οἳ ὠνομάσθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.

33 Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσσάχαρ γινώσκοντες σύνεσιν εἰς τοὺς καιροὺς, γινώσκοντες τί ποιῆσαι Ἰσραὴλ, διακόσιοι, καὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν μετʼ αὐτῶν.

34 Καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐκπορευόμενοι εἰς παράταξιν πολέμου ἐν πᾶσι σκεύεσι πολεμικοῖς πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες βοηθῆσαι τῷ Δαυὶδ οὐ χεροκένως.

35 Καὶ ἀπὸ Νεφθαλὶ ἄρχοντες χίλιοι, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐν θυρεοῖς καὶ δόρασι, τριακονταεπτὰ χιλιάδες.

36 Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν Δανιτῶν παρατασσόμενοι εἰς πόλεμον, εἰκοσιοκτὼ χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι.

37 Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀσὴρ ἐκπορευόμενοι βοηθῆσαι εἰς πόλεμον, τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες.

38 Καὶ ἐκ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἀπὸ Ῥουβὴν, καὶ Γαδδὶ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἐν πᾶσι σκεύεσι πολεμικοῖς, ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδες.

39 Πάντες οὗτοι ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ παρατασσόμενοι παράταξιν ἐν ψυχῇ εἰρηνικῇ· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Χεβρὼν τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ὁ κατάλοιπος Ἰσραὴλ ψυχὴ μία τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.

40 Καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες, ὅτι ἡτοίμασαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.

41 Καὶ οἱ ὁμοροῦντες αὐτοῖς ἕως Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ Ζαβουλὼν καὶ Νεφθαλὶ, ἔφερον αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τῶν καμήλων καὶ τῶν ὄνων καὶ τῶν ἡμιόνων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν μόσχων βρώματα, ἄλευρα, παλάθας, σταφίδας, οἶνον, καὶ ἔλαιον, μόσχους καὶ πρόβατα εἰς πλῆθος, ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

1 And these are they that came to Sikelag, when he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kis; and these were among the mighty, aiding him in war,

2 and using the bow with the right hand and with the left, and slingers with stones, and shooters with bows. Of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin,

3 the chief was Achiezer, and Joas son of Asma the Gabathite, and Joel and Jophalet, sons of Asmoth, and Berchia, and Jeul of Anathoth,

4 and Samaias the Gabaonite a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty;

5 and Jeremia, and Jeziel, and Joanan, and Jozabath of Gadarathiim,

6 Azai and Arimuth, and Baalia, and Samaraia, and Saphatias of Charæphiel,

7 Helcana, and Jesuni, and Ozriel, and Jozara, and Sobocam, and the Corites,

8 and Jelia and Zabadia, sons of Iroam, and the men of Gedor.

9 And from Gad these separated themselves to David from the wilderness, strong mighty men of war, bearing shields and spears, and their faces were as the face of a lion, and they were nimble as roes upon the mountains in speed.

10 Aza the chief, Abdia the second, Eliab the third,

11 Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth,

12 Jethi the sixth, Eliab the seventh,

13 Joanan the eighth, Eleazer the ninth,

14 Jeremia the tenth, Melchabanai the eleventh.

15 These were chiefs of the army of the sons of Gad, the least one commander of a hundred, and the greatest one of a thousand.

16 These are the men that crossed over Jordan in the first month, and it had overflowed all its banks; and they drove out all the inhabitants of the valleys, from the east to the west.

17 And there came some of the sons of Benjamin and Juda to the assistance of David.

18 And David went out to meet them, and said to them, If ye are come peaceably to me, let my heart be at peace with you: but if ye are come to betray me to my enemies unfaithfully, the God of your fathers look upon it, and reprove it.

19 And the Spirit came upon Amasai, a captain of the thirty, and he said, Go, David, son of Jesse, thou and thy people, peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers, for thy God has helped thee. And David received them, and made them captains of the forces.

20 And some came to David from Manasse, when the Philistines came against Saul to war: and he helped them not, because the captains of the Philistines took counsel, saying, With the heads of those men will he return to his master Saul.

21 When David was going to Sikelag, there came to him of Manasse, Edna and Jozabath, and Rodiel, and Michael, and Josabaith, and Elimuth, and Semathi: these are the captains of thousands of Manasse.

22 And they fought on the side of David against a troop, for they were all men of might; and they were commanders in the army, because of their might.

23 For daily men came to David, till they amounted to a great force, as the force of God.

24 And these are the names of the commanders of the army, who came to David to Chebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him according to the word of the Lord.

25 The sons of Juda, bearing shields and spears, six thousand and eight hundred mighty in war.

26 Of the sons of Symeon mighty for battle, seven thousand and a hundred.

27 Of the sons of Levi, four thousand and six hundred.

28 And Joadas the chief of the family of Aaron, and with him three thousand and seven hundred.

29 And Sadoc, a young man mighty in strength, and there were twenty-two leaders of his father's house.

30 And of the sons of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: and still the greater part of them kept the guard of the house of Saul.

31 And of the sons of Ephraim, twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men, famous in the houses of their fathers.

32 And of the half-tribe of Manasse, eighteen thousand, even those who were named by name, to make David king.

33 And of the sons of Issachar having wisdom with regard to the times, knowing what Israel should do, two hundred; and all their brethren with them.

34 And of Zabulon they that went out to battle, with all weapons of war, were fifty thousand to help David, not weak-handed.

35 And of Nephthali a thousand captains, and with them men with shields and spears, thirty-seven thousand.

36 And of the Danites men ready for war twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred.

37 And of Aser, they that went out to give aid in war, forty thousand.

38 And from the country beyond Jordan, from Ruben, and the Gadites, and from the half-tribe of Manasse, a hundred and twenty thousand, with all weapons of war.

39 All these were men of war, setting the army in battle array, with a peaceful mind towards him , and they came to Chebron to make David king over all Israel: and the rest of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

40 And they were there three days eating and drinking, for their brethren had made preparations.

41 And their neighbours, as far as Issachar and Zabulon and Nephthali, brought to them upon camels, and asses, and mules, and upon calves, victuals, meal, cakes of figs, raisins, wine, and oil, calves and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
