Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag while he was a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.
1ΚΑΙ οὗτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Σικελάγ, ἔτι συνεχομένου ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαοὺλ υἱοῦ Κίς, καὶ οὗτοι ἐν τοῖς δυνατοῖς βοηθοῦντες ἐν πολέμῳ
2They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow. They were of Saul’s relatives of the tribe of Benjamin.
2καὶ τόξῳ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καὶ σφενδονῆται ἐν λίθοις καὶ τόξοις· ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαοὺλ ἐκ Βενιαμίν·
3The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
3ὁ ἄρχων Ἀχιέζερ καὶ Ἰωὰς υἱὸς Ἀσμὰ τοῦ Γαβαθίτου καὶ Ἰωὴλ καὶ Ἰωφαλὴτ υἱοὶ Ἀσμὼθ καὶ Βερχία καὶ Ἰηοὺλ ὁ Ἀναθωθὶ
4Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and a leader of the thirty; Jeremiah; Jahaziel; Johanan; Jozabad the Gederathite;

6Ἀζαΐ καὶ Ἰαριμοὺθ καὶ Βααλιὰ καὶ Σαμαραΐα καὶ Σαφατίας ὁ Χαραιφιήλ,
7and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
7Ἡλκανὰ καὶ Ἰησουνὶ καὶ Ὀζριὴλ καὶ Ἰωζαρὰ καὶ Σοβοκὰμ καὶ οἱ Κορῖται
8Some Gadites joined David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains:
8καὶ Ἰελία καὶ Ζαβαδία υἱοὶ Ἰραὰμ καὶ οἱ τοῦ Γεδώρ.
9Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
9καὶ 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·
10Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
10Ἀζὲρ ὁ ἄρχων, Ἀβδία ὁ δεύτερος, Ἐλιὰβ ὁ τρίτος,
11Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
11Μασμανὰ ὁ τέταρτος, Ἱερμιὰ ὁ πέμπτος,
12Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
12Ἰεθὶ ὁ ἕκτος, Ἐλιὰβ ὁ ἕβδομος,
13Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbannai the eleventh.
13Ἰωανὰν ὁ ὄγδοος, Ἐλιαζὲρ ὁ ἔνατος,
14These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army. He who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.
14Ἱερμιὰ ὁ δέκατος, Μελχαβαναὶ ὁ ἑνδέκατος.
15These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all who lived in the valleys, both toward the east and toward the west.
15οὗτοι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Γὰδ ἄρχοντες τῆς στρατιᾶς, εἷς τοῖς ἑκατὸν μικρὸς καὶ μέγας τοῖς χιλίοις.
16Some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.
16οὗτοι οἱ διαβάντες τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ, καὶ οὗτος πεπληρωκὼς ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κρηπῖδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξεδίωξαν πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐλῶνας ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν.
17David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”
17καὶ ἦλθον ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν καὶ Ἰούδα εἰς βοήθειαν τοῦ Δαυίδ,
18Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse. Peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them and made them captains of the band.
18καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην ἥκατε πρός με, εἴη μοι καρδία καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς· καὶ εἰ τοῦ παραδοῦναί με τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου οὐκ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ χειρός, ἴδοι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλέγξαιτο.
19Some of Manasseh also joined David when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they didn’t help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”
19καὶ πνεῦμα ἐνέδυσε τὸν Ἀμασαὶ ἄρχοντα τῶν τριάκοντα, καὶ εἶπε· πορεύου καὶ ὁ λαός σου Δαυὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαί· εἰρήνη εἰρήνη σοι, καὶ εἰρήνη τοῖς βοηθοῖς σου, ὅτι ἐβοήθησέ σοι ὁ Θεὸς σου. καὶ προσεδέξατο αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων.
20As he went to Ziklag, some from Manasseh joined him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.
20καὶ 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 κύριον αὐτοῦ Σαούλ·
21They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and were captains in the army.
21ἐν τῷ πορευθῆναι τὸν Δαυὶδ εἰς Σικελὰγ προσεχώρησαν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ Ἐδνὰ καὶ Ἰωζαβὰθ καὶ Ρωδιὴλ καὶ Μιχαὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαβαὶθ καὶ Ἐλιμοὺθ καὶ Σεμαθί, ἀρχηγοὶ χιλιάδων εἰσὶ τοῦ Μανασσῆ.
22For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like God’s army.
22καὶ αὐτοὶ συνεμάχησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν γεδδούρ, ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος πάντες καὶ ἦσαν ἡγούμενοι ἐν τῇ στρατιᾷ ἐν τῇ δυνάμει·
23These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the LORD’s word.
23ὅτι ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἤρχοντο πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς δύναμιν μεγάλην ὡς δύναμις τοῦ Θεοῦ.
24The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand eight hundred, armed for war.
24καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀρχόντων τῆς στρατιᾶς, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὴν βασιλείαν Σαοὺλ πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου.
25Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war: seven thousand one hundred.

26Of the children of Levi: four thousand six hundred.
26τῶν υἱῶν Συμεὼν δυνατοὶ ἰσχύος εἰς παράταξιν ἑπτὰ χιλιάδες καὶ ἑκατόν.
27Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand seven hundred,
27τῶν υἱῶν Λευὶ τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ ἑξακόσιοι.
28and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.
28καὶ Ἰωδαὲ ὁ ἡγούμενος τῷ Ἀαρὼν καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τρεῖς χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι.
29Of the children of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives: three thousand, for until then, the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to Saul’s house.
29καὶ Σαδὼκ νέος δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ καὶ τῆς πατρικῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντες εἰκοσιδύο.
30Of the children of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.
30καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν Σαοὺλ τρεῖς χιλιάδες· καὶ ἔτι τὸ πλεῖστον αὐτῶν ἀπεσκόπει τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου Σαούλ.
31Of the half-tribe of Manasseh: eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.
31καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἐφραὶμ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι, δυνατοὶ ἰσχύϊ, ἄνδρες ὀνομαστοὶ κατ᾿ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν.
32Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their command.
32καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ δεκαοκτὼ χιλιάδες, οἳ ὠνομάσθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.
33Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array with all kinds of instruments of war: fifty thousand who could command and were not of double heart.
33καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσσάχαρ γινώσκοντες σύνεσιν εἰς τοὺς καιρούς, γινώσκοντες τί ποιήσαι Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὰς ἀρχὰς αὐτῶν, διακόσιοι, καὶ πάντες ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν μετ᾿ αὐτῶν.
34Of Naphtali: one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.
34καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐκπορευόμενοι εἰς παράταξιν πολέμου ἐν πᾶσι σκεύεσι πολεμικοῖς πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες βοηθῆσαι τῷ Δαυὶδ οὐ χεροκένως.
35Of the Danites who could set the battle in array: twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

37καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀσὴρ ἐκπορευόμενοι βοηθῆσαι εἰς πόλεμον τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες.
38All these were men of war who could order the battle array, and 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.
38καὶ ἐκ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἀπὸ Ρουβὴν καὶ Γαδδὶ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἐν πᾶσι σκεύεσι πολεμικοῖς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδες.
39They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had supplied provisions for them.
39πάντες 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.
40Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, on camels, on mules, and on oxen: supplies of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep in abundance; for there was joy in Israel.
40καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες, ὅτι ἡτοίμασαν οἰ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.
