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.

After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.

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

Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.

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

David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.

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.

David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.

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

When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean 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.

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

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

David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and 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.

From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.

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

When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer 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.

and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made of gold and silver and bronze.

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.

King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.

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

Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

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

He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

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

David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.

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

Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.

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

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

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

Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the hand of the king.
