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.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy 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.

Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: And Yhwh said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over 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.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before Yhwh: and they anointed David king over 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.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

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 the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

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

Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same 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, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

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

So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

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

And David went on, and grew great, And Yhwh God of Armies 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 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.

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 perceived that Yhwh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.

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 him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

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

And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 og Jibkar og Elisua og Nefeg og Jafla

Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 og Elisama og Eljada og Elifelet.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

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.

But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

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

The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

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 Yhwh, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And Yhwh said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

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 to Baal–perazim, and David smote them there, and said, Yhwh hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal–perazim.

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

And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

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

And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

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 when David enquired of Yhwh, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

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 let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall Yhwh go out before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.

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

And David did so, as Yhwh had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
