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 Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
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 felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 Og David tog endnu Hustruer i Jerusalem, og David avlede endnu Sønner og Døtre.
And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat 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 the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 og Jibkar og Elisua og Elifelet
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
6 og Noga og Nefeg og Jafla
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
7 og Elisama og Beeljada og Elifelet.
And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
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.
But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Og Filisterne kom og udbredte sig i Refaims Dal.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
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 asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
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 they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
12 Og de efterlode deres Guder der; og David bød, og de bleve opbrændte med Ild.
And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Og Filisterne bleve endnu ved og udbredte sig i Dalen.
And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the 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 asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-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 thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
16 Og David gjorde, som Gud havde befalet ham, og de sloge Filisternes Lejr fra Gibeon og indtil Geser.
And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
17 Og Davids Navn kom ud i alle Landene, og Herren lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedninger.
And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
