2 Samuel 8

1 Og det skete derefter, at David slog Filisterne og ydmygede dem, og David tog Metheg-Ha-Amma ud af Filisternes Haand.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Og han slog Moabiterne og maalte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig paa Jorden, og han maalte to Snore fulde til at slaa ihjel, og en Snor fuld til at lade leve; saa bleve Moabiterne Davids Tjenere, og de bragte ham Skænk.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines he measured to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And [so] the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.

3 David slog og Hadad-Eser, Rekobs Søn, Kongen i Zoba, der denne drog hen at vende sin Haand mod Floden Frat.

David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

4 Og David tog fra ham tusinde og syv Hundrede Ryttere og tyve Tusinde Mand Fodfolk, og David lammede alle Vognheste og lod hundrede Heste blive tilovers af dem.

And David took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot -[horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.

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

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 Og David lagde Besætning i det damascenske Syrien; saa bleve Syrerne Davids Tjenere, som bragte ham Skænk; og Herren frelste David, ihvor han drog hen.

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

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

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Men af Betha og af Berothaj, Hadad-Esers Stæder, tog Kong David saare meget Kobber.

And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took very much brass.

9 Der Thoi, Kongen af Hamath, hørte, at David havde slaget hele Hadad-Esers Hær,

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

10 da sendte Thoi sin Søn Joram til Kong David for at hilse ham og for at velsigne ham, fordi han havde stridt imod Hadad-Eser og slaget ham; thi Hadad-Eser førte stedse Krig imod Thoi; og han havde Sølvkar og Guldkar og Kobberkar med sig.

Then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: (for Hadadezer had wars with Toi) and [Joram] brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

11 Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David for Herren, tillige med det Sølv og det Guld, som han helligede fra alle de Hedninger, som han havde undertvunget,

Which also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

12 fra Syrien og fra Moab og fra Ammons Børn og fra Filisterne og fra Amalek og af Byttet fra Hadad-Eser, Rekobs Søn, Kongen af Zoba.

Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 Og David gjorde sig navnkundig, der han kom tilbage, efter at han havde slaget Syrerne, og (slog af Edomiterne) udi Saltdalen atten Tusinde.

And David made [him] a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of Salt, [being] eighteen thousand [men].

14 Og han lagde Besætning udi Edom, udi hele Edom lagde han Besætning, og alle Edomiterne bleve Davids Tjenere; og Herren frelste David, ihvor han drog hen.

And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

15 Saa var David Konge over al Israel, og David gjorde Ret og Retfærdighed for alt sit Folk.

And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.

16 Og Joab, Zerujas Søn, var over Hæren, og Josafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Historieskriver;

And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder;

17 og Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Akimelek, Abjathars Søn, vare Præster, og Seraja var Skriver;

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests: and Seraiah [was] the scribe;

18 og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var over de Krethi og de Plethi, og Davids Sønner vare hans ypperste Raad.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
