2 Samuel 5

1 Da kom alle Israels Stammer til David i Hebron, og de sagde saaledes: Se, her ere vi, vi ere dine Ben og dit Kød.

And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh.

2 Ogsaa tilforn, der Saul var Konge over os, da var du den, som førte Israel ud og ind; saa har Herren sagt til dig: Du skal vogte mit Folk Israel, og du skal være Fyrste over Israel.

And heretofore Saul being king over us, you was he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a leader to my people Israel.

3 Og alle de Ældste af Israel kom til Kongen i Hebron, og Kong David gjorde en Pagt med dem i Hebron for Herrens Ansigt, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel.

And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.

4 David var tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, han regerede fyrretyve Aar.

David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 Han regerede i Hebron over Juda syv Aar og seks Maaneder og regerede i Jerusalem i tre og tredive Aar over hele Israel og Juda.

Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.

6 Og Kongen drog hen og hans Mænd til Jerusalem imod Jebusiterne, som boede i Landet; og de sagde til David: Du skal ikke komme herind, men de blinde og lamme skulle drive dig bort; hvormed de vilde sige: David skal ikke komme herind.

And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.

7 Men David indtog Zions Befæstning, det er Davids Stad.

And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

8 Thi David havde sagt paa den samme Dag: Hvo som helst der slaar Jebusiterne og naar til Vandrenden og slaar de halte og de blinde, som ere Davids Sjæl forhadte —; derfor siger man: En blind eller en lam skal ikke komme ind i Huset.

And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.

9 Saa boede David i Befæstningen og kaldte den Davids Stad, og David byggede trindt omkring fra Millo af og indadtil.

And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.

10 Og David gik stedse frem og blev stor; thi Herren Zebaoths Gud var med ham.

And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.

11 Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Mestre til at udhugge i Træ og Mestre til at udhugge i Sten til Vægge, og de byggede David et Hus.

And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.

12 Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel, og at han havde ophøjet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.

And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

13 Og David tog endnu Medhustruer og Hustruer af Jerusalem, efter at han var kommen fra Hebron; og der fødtes endnu Sønner og Døtre for David.

And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.

14 Og disse ere deres Navne, som ham fødtes i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab og Nathan og Salomo

And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.

15 og Jibkar og Elisua og Nefeg og Jafla

And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.

16 og Elisama og Eljada og Elifelet.

And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.

17 Der Filisterne hørte, at de havde salvet David til Konge over Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ned til Befæstningen.

And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.

18 Og Filisterne kom, og de spredte sig i Refaims Dal.

And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.

19 Og David spurgte Herren ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til David: Drag op, thi jeg vil give Filisterne i din Haand.

And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.

20 Og David kom til Baal-Perazim, og David slog dem der og sagde: Herren har brudt igennem mine Fjender for mit Ansigt, som Vand bryder igennem; derfor kalder man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.

And David came from Upper Breaches, and struck the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.

21 Og de efterlode deres Afguder der, og David og hans Mænd toge dem op.

And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.

22 Men Filisterne bleve endnu ved at drage op og spredte sig i Refaims Dal.

And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.

23 Og David spurgte Herren ad, men han sagde: Du skal ikke drage op; men kom omkring bag paa dem, at du kommer til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.

And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, You shall not go up to meet them: turn from them, and you shall meet them near the place of weeping.

24 Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da maa du røre dig; thi da er Herren udgangen for dit Ansigt til at slaa Filisternes Lejr.

And it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then you shall go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before you to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.

25 Og David gjorde saaledes, ligesom Herren havde befalet ham, og slog Filisterne fra Geba indtil hen imod Geser.

And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
