Første Krønikebog 14
1 Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Murmestre og Tømmermestre for at bygge ham et Hus.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
2 Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel; thi hans Rige blev overmaade ophøjet for hans Folks Israels Skyld.
And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
3 Og David tog endnu Hustruer i Jerusalem, og David avlede endnu Sønner og Døtre.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
4 Og disse vare deres Navne, som bleve ham fødte i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Nathan og Salomo
And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 og Jibkar og Elisua og Elifelet
and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
6 og Noga og Nefeg og Jafla
and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7 og Elisama og Beeljada og Elifelet.
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
8 Og der Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ud imod dem.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
9 Og Filisterne kom og udbredte sig i Refaims Dal.
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
10 Og David spurgte Gud ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? og vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til ham: Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand.
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.
11 Og der de droge op til Baal-Perazim, da slog David dem der, og David sagde: Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, ligesom Vandet bryder igennem; derfor kaldte man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
12 Og de efterlode deres Guder der; og David bød, og de bleve opbrændte med Ild.
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
13 Og Filisterne bleve endnu ved og udbredte sig i Dalen.
And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.
14 Og David adspurgte Gud ydermere, og Gud sagde til ham: Du skal ikke drage op efter dem, men vend dig fra dem, at du kan komme til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees.
15 Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da skal du drage ud til Striden; thi Gud er udgangen for dit Ansigt at slaa Filisternes Lejr.
And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 Og David gjorde, som Gud havde befalet ham, og de sloge Filisternes Lejr fra Gibeon og indtil Geser.
And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Og Davids Navn kom ud i alle Landene, og Herren lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedninger.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
