RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Now 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;
1 ESTOS son los que vinieron á David á Siclag, estando él aún encerrado por causa de Saúl hijo de Cis, y eran de los valientes ayudadores de la guerra.
2 they were archers using both the right and left hands to sling stones and shoot arrows; and they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin):
2 Estaban armados de arcos, y usaban de ambas manos en tirar piedras con honda, y saetas con arco. De los hermanos de Saúl de Benjamín:
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash, who were the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah; Jehu the Anathothite;
3 El principal Ahiezer, después Joas, hijos de Semaa Gabaathita; y Jeziel, y Pheleth, hijos de Azmaveth, y Beracah, y Jehú Anathothita;
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
4 E Ismaías Gabaonita, valiente entre los treinta, y más que los treinta; y Jeremías, Jahaziel, Joanán, Jozabad Gederathita,
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
5 Eluzai, y Jeremoth, Bealías, Semarías, y Sephatías Haruphita;
6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, who were Korahites;
6 Elcana, é Isías, y Azareel, y Joezer, y Jasobam, de Coré;
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
7 Y Joela, y Zebadías, hijos de Jeroham de Gedor.
8 Some 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:
8 También de los de Gad se huyeron á David, [estando] en la fortaleza en el desierto, muy valientes hombres de guerra para pelear, dispuestos [á hacerlo] con escudo y pavés: sus rostros como rostros de leones, y ligeros como las cabras monteses.
9 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
9 Eser el primero, Obadías el segundo, Eliab el tercero,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
10 Mismana el cuarto, Jeremías el quinto,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
11 Attai el sexto, Eliel el séptimo,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
12 Johanán el octavo, Elzabad el nono,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.
13 Jeremías el décimo, Machbani el undécimo.
14 These Gadites were army commanders, the least of whom was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand.
14 Estos fueron capitanes del ejército de los hijos de Gad. El menor tenía cargo de cien hombres, y el mayor de mil.
15 These 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.
15 Estos pasaron el Jordán en el mes primero, cuando había salido sobre todas sus riberas; é hicieron huir á todos los de los valles al oriente y al poniente.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.
16 Asimismo algunos de los hijos de Benjamín y de Judá vinieron á David á la fortaleza.
17 And 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.”
17 Y David salió á ellos, y hablóles diciendo: Si habéis venido á mí para paz y para ayudarme, mi corazón será unido con vosotros; mas si para engañarme en pro de mis enemigos, siendo mis manos sin iniquidad, véalo el Dios de nuestros padres, y demándelo.
18 Then 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.
18 Entonces se envistió el espíritu en Amasai, príncipe de treinta, [y dijo]: Por ti, oh David, y contigo, oh hijo de Isaí. Paz, paz contigo, y paz con tus ayudadores; pues que también tu Dios te ayuda. Y David los recibió, y púsolos entre los capitanes de la cuadrilla.
19 Some 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.”)
19 También se pasaron á David algunos de Manasés, cuando vino con los Filisteos á la batalla contra Saúl, aunque no les ayudaron; porque los sátrapas de los Filisteos, habido consejo, lo despidieron, diciendo: Con nuestras cabezas se pasará á su señor Saúl.
20 When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
20 Así que viniendo él á Siclag, se pasaron á él de los de Manasés, Adnas, Jozabad, Jediaiel, Michâel, Jozabad, Eliú, y Sillethai, príncipes de millares de los de Manasés.
21 They helped David against the raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.
21 Estos ayudaron á David contra aquella compañía; porque todos ellos eran hombres valientes, y fueron capitanes en el ejército.
22 For at that time men came to David day after day to help him, until he had a great army, like the army of God.
22 Porque entonces todos los días venía ayuda á David, hasta hacerse un grande ejército, como ejército de Dios.
23 Now 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:
23 Y este es el número de los principales que estaban á punto de guerra, y vinieron á David en Hebrón, para traspasarle el reino de Saúl, conforme á la palabra de Jehová:
24 From Judah: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.
24 De los hijos de Judá que traían escudo y lanza, seis mil y ochocientos, á punto de guerra.
25 From Simeon: 7,100 mighty men of valor, ready for battle.
25 De los hijos de Simeón, valientes y esforzados hombres para la guerra, siete mil y ciento.
26 From Levi: 4,600,
26 De los hijos de Leví, cuatro mil y seiscientos;
27 including Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men,
27 Asimismo Joiada, príncipe de [los del linaje de] Aarón, y con él tres mil y setecientos;
28 and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.
28 Y Sadoc, mancebo valiente y esforzado, con veinte y dos de los principales de la casa de su padre.
29 From Benjamin, the kinsmen of Saul: 3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to the house of Saul up to that time.
29 De los hijos de Benjamín hermanos de Saúl, tres mil; porque aun en aquel tiempo muchos de ellos tenían la parte de la casa de Saúl.
30 From Ephraim: 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous among their own clans.
30 Y de los hijos de Ephraim, veinte mil y ochocientos, muy valientes, varones ilustres en las casas de sus padres.
31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.
31 De la media tribu de Manasés, diez y ocho mil, los cuales fueron tomados por lista para venir á poner á David por rey.
32 From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.
32 Y de los hijos de Issachâr, doscientos principales, entendidos en los tiempos, y que sabían lo que Israel debía hacer, cuyo dicho seguían todos sus hermanos.
33 From Zebulun: 50,000 fit for service, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, who with one purpose were devoted to David.
33 Y de Zabulón cincuenta mil, que salían á campaña á punto de guerra, con todas armas de guerra, dispuestos á pelear sin doblez de corazón.
34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders, accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.
34 Y de Nephtalí mil capitanes, y con ellos treinta y siete mil con escudo y lanza.
35 From Dan: 28,600 prepared for battle.
35 De los de Dan, dispuestos á pelear, veinte y ocho mil y seiscientos.
36 From Asher: 40,000 fit for service, prepared for battle.
36 Y de Aser, á punto de guerra y aparejados á pelear, cuarenta mil.
37 And 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.
37 Y de la otra parte del Jordán, de los Rubenitas y de los de Gad y de la media tribu de Manasés, ciento y veinte mil con toda suerte de armas de guerra.
38 All 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.
38 Todos estos hombres de guerra, dispuestos para guerrear, vinieron con corazón perfecto á Hebrón, para poner á David por rey sobre todo Israel; asimismo todos los demás de Israel estaban de un mismo ánimo para poner á David por rey.
39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them.
39 Y estuvieron allí con David tres días comiendo y bebiendo, porque sus hermanos habían prevenido para ellos.
40 And 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.
40 Y también los que les eran vecinos, hasta Issachâr y Zabulón y Nephtalí, trajeron pan en asnos, y camellos, y mulos, y bueyes; y provisión de harina, masas de higos, y pasas, vino y aceite, bueyes y ovejas en abundancia, porque en Israel había alegría.
