8From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roebucks on the mountains.

14These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over a thousand.
15Ko kinautolu eni naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he Soatani ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, lolotonga ʻa ʻene malofa atu ʻae vai ki hono kau vai kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ki he feituʻu hahake, pea ki he lulunga.
15These are they who passed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is used to how over its banks: and they put to flight all that dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward the west.
16Pea naʻe haʻu foki ha niʻihi mei he fānau ʻa Penisimani mo Siuta ki he kolo mālohi kia Tevita.
16And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the hold, in which David abode.
17Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Tevita ke fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne lea ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kapau kuo mou omi fakamelino pe kiate au ke tokoni kiate au, ʻe kautaha ʻa hoku loto mo kimoutolu: ka ko eni, kapau kuo mou haʻu ke lavakiʻi au ki hoku ngaahi fili, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fai fakamālohi ʻi hoku nima, ke ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai, pea ne valoki ia.”
17And David went out to meet them, and said: If you are come peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands, let the God of our fathers see, and judge.
18Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae Laumālie kia ʻAmasai ʻaia naʻe ʻeiki hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻeikitau, pea naʻa ne pehē , “ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻakimautolu , ʻe Tevita, pea ʻoku mau kau kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo Sese: ke melino, ke melino pe koe, pea ke melino ʻakinautolu ʻoku tokoni kiate koe; he ʻoku tokoni ʻe ho ʻOtua kiate koe. Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻeikitau ki he kongakau.
18But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19Pea naʻe tō mai kia Tevita ha niʻihi meia Manase, ʻi heʻene omi fakataha mo e kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa Saula: ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻenau tokoni: he naʻe loto ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia ke ne ʻalu, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE kau atu ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ko Saula, pea ʻe tuʻutāmaki ai ʻa hotau ʻulu ʻotautolu.”
19And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master Saul.
20Lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻalu ki Sikilaki, naʻe hoko mai kiate ia meia Manase, ʻa ʻAtina, mo Sosapati, mo Sitieli, mo Mikaeli, mo Sosapati, mo Ilihu, mo Silitei, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻo Manase.
20So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses, Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.
21Pea naʻa nau tokoni ʻa Tevita ʻaki ha kautau: he ko e kau tangata toʻa lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea ko e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻakinautolu ʻi he kautau.
21These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.
22He ko e kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Tevita ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ke tokoni kiate ia, pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo fuʻu tokolahi ʻa ʻene kautau, ʻo hangē ko e kautau ʻoe ʻOtua.
22Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till they became a great number, like the army of God.
23¶ Pea ko hono lau eni ʻoe ngaahi kongakau naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau, mo nau omi kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ke liliu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Saula kiate ia, ʻo tatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova.
23And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul, according to the word of the Lord.
24Ko e fānau ʻa Siuta naʻe fua ʻae pā mo e tao ko e toko ono afe mo e valungeau, naʻe tali teuteu ki he tau.

29Pea ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ko e kāinga ʻo Saula, ko e toko tolu afe: he naʻe fai ʻo aʻu ki he kuonga ko ia ʻe honau tokolahi, ʻae tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Saula.
29And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul.

30And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of great valour renowned in their kindreds.
31Pea mei hono vahe ua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha mano mo e valungeau, ʻaia naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke haʻu ʻo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
31And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one by their names, came to make David king.

32Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all the rest of the tribe followed their counsel.

33And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his aid, with no double heart.

34And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear.

37And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty thousand, furnished with arms for war.
38Ko e kau tangata faʻa tau eni kotoa pē, naʻe faʻa tutuʻu lelei, pea naʻa nau omi kia Tevita ʻi he loto moʻoni ki Hepeloni, ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea ko hono toe foki ʻoe kakai ʻi ʻIsileli naʻe loto taha pe ke fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi.
38All these men of war well appointed to fight, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel, were of one heart to make David king.
39Pea naʻa nau ʻi ai mo Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea naʻa nau kai mo inu: he naʻe fai ʻa honau tali ʻe honau ngaahi kāinga.
39And they were there with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
40Pea ʻilonga ʻae kakai naʻe vāofi mo kinautolu, kia ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, mo Nafitali, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae mā kuo fakaheka ki he fanga ʻasi, pea ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ki he fanga miuli, pea ki he fanga pulu, pea naʻe ʻomi mo e mangisi, ko e mahoaʻa, mo e ngaahi fiki fakamōmoa, mo e ngaahi fuhinga kālepi, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga sipi lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻae fakafiefia ʻi ʻIsileli.
