Første Krønikebog 18

1 Og det skete derefter, at David slog Filisterne og ydmygede dem, og han tog Gat og dens tilliggende Byer af Filisternes Haand.

Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.

2 Han slog og Moabiterne, og Moabiterne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk.

And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.

3 David slog og Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, ved Hamat, der han drog hen at vende sin Haand imod Floden Frat.

In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.

4 Og David tog fra ham tusinde Vogne og syv Tusinde Ryttere og tyve Tusinde Fodfolk, og David lammede alle Vognhestene, og han lod kun hundrede Heste blive tilovers af dem.

Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.

5 Men Syrerne fra Damaskus kom for at hjælpe Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, og David slog af Syrerne to og tyve Tusinde Mand.

Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.

6 Og David lagde Besætning udi Syrien i Damaskus, og Syrerne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk, og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.

And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.

7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, som vare hos Hadad-Esers Tjenere, og førte dem til Jerusalem.

Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Og fra Tibehat og fra Kun, Hadad-Esers Stæder, tog David saare meget Kobber; deraf gjorde Salomo Kobberhavet og Støtterne og Kobberkarrene.

In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Og der Thou, Kongen af Hamat, hørte, at David havde slaget hele Hadad-Esers, Kongen af Zobas, Hær,

Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,

10 da sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse ham og at velsigne ham, fordi han havde stridt imod Hadad-Eser og slaget ham; thi Hadad-Eser førte stedse Krig imod Thou; og han havde alle Haande Guldkar og Sølvkar og Kobberkar med sig.

he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.

11 Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David for Herren, tillige med det Sølv og Guld, som han havde taget fra alle Hedninger, fra Edom og fra Moab og fra Ammons Børn og fra Filisterne og fra Amalek.

Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.

12 Og Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edomiterne i Saltdalen, atten Tusinde.

Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.

13 Og han lagde Besætning i Edom, og alle Edomiterne bleve Davids Tjenere; og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.

And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.

14 Saa var David Konge over hele Israel, og han gjorde Ret og Retfærdighed for alt sit Folk.

Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 Og Joab, Zerujas Søn, var over Krigshæren, og Josafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Historieskriver.

Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

16 Og Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Abjathars Søn, vare Præster, og Sausa var Skriver.

And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.

17 Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var over de Krethi og de Plethi; og Davids Sønner vare de første ved Kongens Haand.

Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
