1. Now these are they who came to Dawiḏ at Tsiqlag̅ while he was still in hiding from Sha’ul son of Qish. And they were among the mighty men, helping the battle,
2. armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left, with stones, and with arrows, with bows, of the brothers of Sha’ul, of Binyamin.
3. The chief was Aḥi‛ezer and Yo’ash, the sons of Shema‛ah the Giḇ‛athite; and Yezaw’ĕl and Pelet, the sons of Azmaweth; and Beraḵah, and Yĕhu the Anathothite;
4. and Yishmayah the Giḇ‛onite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Yirmeyah, and Yaḥazi’ĕl, and Yoḥanan, and Yozaḇaḏ the Geḏĕrathite;
5. Eluzai, and Yerimoth, and Be‛alyah, and Shemaryahu, and Shephatyahu the Ḥaruphite;
6. Elqanah, and Yishshiyahu, and Azar’ĕl, and Yow‛ezer, and Yashoḇ‛am the Qorḥites;
7. and Yo’ĕlah and Zeḇaḏyah, the sons of Yeroḥam of Geḏor.
8. And some Gaḏites separated themselves to Dawiḏ at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty brave men, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
9. Ězer the chief, Oḇaḏyah the second, Eliyaḇ the third,
10. Mishmannah the fourth, Yirmeyah the fifth,
11. Attai the sixth, Eli’ĕl the seventh,
12. Yoḥanan the eighth, Elzaḇaḏ the ninth,
13. Yirmeyahu the tenth, Maḵbannai the eleventh.
14. These were from the sons of Gaḏ, chiefs of the army. The least was over a hundred, and the greatest was over a thousand.
15. These were the ones who passed over the Yardĕn in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks, and put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16. And some of the children of Binyamin and Yehuḏah came to Dawiḏ at the stronghold.
