2 Samuel 21
1 Og der var en Hungersnød i Davids Dage tre Aar, Aar efter Aar, og David søgte Herrens Ansigt, og Herren sagde: Det er for Sauls Skyld og for Blodhusets Skyld, fordi han ihjelslog Gibeoniterne.
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 Da lod Kongen kalde ad Gibeoniterne og sagde til dem: (Men Gibeoniterne vare ikke af Israels Børn, men af de overblevne Amoriter, og Israels Børn havde tilsvoret dem, men Saul søgte efter at slaa dem ihjel, fordi han var nidkær for Israels og Judas Børn)
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 og David sagde til Gibeoniterne: Hvad skal jeg gøre for eder? og hvormed skal jeg sone det, at I ville velsigne Herrens Arv?
Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that all of you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
4 Og Gibeoniterne sagde til ham: Det er os ikke om Sølv eller Guld at gøre hos Saul og hos hans Hus, og det er os ikke om at gøre at ihjelslaa nogen i Israel; da sagde han: Hvad I sige, vil jeg gøre for eder.
And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shall you kill any man in Israel. And he said, What all of you shall say, that will I do for you.
5 Og de sagde til Kongen: Den Mand, som udryddede os, og som tænkte det imod os, at vi skulde ødelægges, at vi ikke skulde bestaa inden al Israels Landemærke:
And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
6 Af hans Sønner lad der gives os syv Mænd, at vi kunne hænge dem op for Herren i Sauls Gibea, den Herrens udvalgtes; og Kongen sagde: Jeg vil give eder dem.
Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
7 Men Kongen sparede Mefiboseth, en Søn af Sauls Søn Jonathan, for Herrens Eds Skyld, som var imellem dem, imellem David og Jonathan, Sauls Søn.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Og Kongen tog de to Sønner af Rizpa, Ajas Datter, hvilke hun havde født Saul, nemlig: Armoni og Mefiboseth, og Mikals, Sauls Datters, fem Sønner, hvilke hun havde født Adriel, Meholathiteren Barsillajs Søn;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 og han gav dem i Gibeoniternes Haand, og de hængte dem op paa Bjerget for Herrens Ansigt, og de faldt alle syv, og de bleve dræbte i Høstens første Dage, i Byghøstens Begyndelse.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Da tog Rizpa, Ajas Datter, Sørgeklædet og udbredte det paa Klippen, fra Høstens Begyndelse, indtil der faldt Vand fra Himmelen over dem; og hun tilstedte ikke Himmelens Fugle at hvile paa dem om Dagen og ej heller Markens Dyr om Natten.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Og det blev David tilkendegivet, det, som Rizpa, Ajas Datter, Sauls Medhustru, havde gjort.
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 Og David gik hen og tog fra Mændene i Jabes udi Gilead Sauls Ben og hans Søns, Jonathans, Ben, som de havde stjaalet fra Torvet i Bethsan, hvor Filisterne havde hængt dem paa den Dag, Filisterne havde slaget Saul paa Gilboa,
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
13 og han førte Sauls Ben og Jonathans, hans Søns, Ben op derfra, og de samlede Benene af dem, som vare hængte.
And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Og de begrove Sauls og hans Søn Jonathans Ben i Benjamins Land, i Zela, udi Kis's, hans Faders, Grav, og de gjorde alt det, som Kongen havde befalet; saa bønhørte Gud derefter Landet.
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was implored for the land.
15 Og Filisterne havde endnu en Krig imod Israel, og David drog ned, og hans Tjenere med ham, og stred imod Filisterne, og David blev træt.
Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 Og Jisbi-Benob, som var en af Rafas Børn, havde et Spyd, hvis Vægt var en Vægt af tre Hundrede Sekel Kobber, og han var ombunden med et nyt Sværd, han tænkte paa at slaa David ihjel.
And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 Men Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, hjalp denne og slog Filisteren og dræbte ham; da besvore Davids Mænd ham og sagde: Du skal ikke ydermere drage ud med os i Krigen, at du ikke skal udslukke Israels Lampe.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and stroke the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto him, saying, You shall go no more out with us to battle, that you quench not the light of Israel.
18 Og det skete derefter, at der var endnu Krig i Gob med Filisterne, da slog Husathiteren Sibkaj Saf, som var af Rafas Børn.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
19 Og der var endnu en Krig i Gob med Filisterne, og El-Hanan, Jaare-Orgims Søn, slog Beth-Lahemi, Githiteren Goliath, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverstang.
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Og der var endnu en Krig i Gath; og der var en høj Mand, som havde seks Fingre paa hver af sine Hænder, og seks Tæer paa hver af sine Fødder, det er fire og tyve i Tallet, og han var ogsaa født for Rafa.
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 Og der han forhaanede Israel, da slog Jonathan, Davids Broder Simeas Søn, ham.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.
22 Disse fire vare fødte for Rafa i Gath, og de faldt ved Davids Haand og ved hans Tjeneres Haand.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
