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.

And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,

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

And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.

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

At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions 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.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred 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.

And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty 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 put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.

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

And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer 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.

Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, 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 Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,

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 Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.

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.

And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

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

And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:

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

And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.

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

So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

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

And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.

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

And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.

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

And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
