Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the mighty men who helped him in battle;
1Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,
2they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
2tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa jacientes, et dirigentes sagittas, de fratribus Saul ex Benjamin.
3Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
3Princeps Ahiecer, et Joas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Jaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Jehu Anathotites.
4Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
4Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Jeremias, et Jeheziel, et Johanan, et Jezabad Gaderothites.
5Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
5Et Eluzai, et Jerimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.
6Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
6Elcana, et Jesia, et Azareel, et Joëzer, et Jesbaam de Carehim:
7and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
7Joëla quoque, et Zabadia filii Jeroham de Gedor.
8Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
8Sed 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:
9Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
9Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,
10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
10Masmana quartus, Jeremias quintus,
11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
11Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,
12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
12Johanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,
13Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
13Jeremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.
14These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
14Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus præerat, et maximus mille.
15These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.
15Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.
16Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
16Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad præsidium in quo morabatur David.
17And David went out to meet them, saying, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free of violence, may the God of our fathers see it and judge you.”
17Egressusque 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.
18Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God helps you.” So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.
18Spiritus 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.
19Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)
19Porro 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.
20When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
20Quando 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.
21They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
21Hi præbuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.
22For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
22Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.
23Now these are the numbers of men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, in accordance with the word of the LORD:
23Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.
24From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
24Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad prælium.
25From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.
25De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.
26From Levi: 4,600,
26De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.
27including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,
27Jojoda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.
28and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
28Sadoc etiam puer egregiæ indolis, et domus patris ejus, principes viginti duo.
29From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
29De filiis autem Benjamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.
30From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
30Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.
31From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
31Et ex dimidia tribu Manasse, decem et octo millia, singuli per nomina sua, venerunt ut constituerent regem David.
32From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
32De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad præcipiendum quid facere deberet Israël, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.
33From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.
33Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad prælium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.
34From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
34Et de Nephthali, principes mille, et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.
35From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
35De Dan etiam præparati ad prælium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.
36From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
36Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.
37And from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh there: 120,000 armed with every kind of weapon of war.
37Trans Jordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.
38All these men of war, arrayed for battle, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. And all the rest of the Israelites were of one mind to make David king.
38Omnes 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.
39They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
39Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes: præparaverant enim eis fratres sui.
40And their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant supplies of flour, fig cakes and raisin cakes, wine and oil, oxen and sheep. Indeed, there was joy in Israel.
40Sed 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.
