Første Krønikebog 11

1 Derpaa samlede hele Israel sig hos David i Hebron og sagde: »Vi er jo dit Kød og Blod!

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron, saying: We are thy bone, and thy flesh.

2 Allerede før i Tiden, medens Saul var Konge, var det dig, som førte Israel ud i Kamp og hjem igen; og HERREN din Gud sagde til dig: Du skal vogte mit Folk Israel og være Hersker over mit Folk Israel!«

Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy God said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt; be ruler over them.

3 Og alle Israels Ældste kom til Kongen i Hebron, og David sluttede i Hebron Pagt med dem for HERRENS Aasyn, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel efter HERRENS Ord ved Samuel.

So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the hand of Samuel.

4 Derpaa drog David med hele Israel til Jerusalem, det er Jebus; der boede Jebusiterne, Landets oprindelige Indbyggere;

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.

5 og Indbyggerne i Jebus sagde til David: »Her kan du ikke trænge ind!« Men David indtog Klippeborgen Zion, det er Davidsbyen.

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou shalt not come in here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of David.

6 Og David sagde: »Den, der først slaar en Jebusit, skal være Øverste og Hærfører!« Og da Joab, Zerujas Søn, var den første, der steg derop, blev han Øverste.

And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the Jebusites, shall be the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first, and was made the general.

7 Saa tog David Bolig i Klippeborgen, hvorfor man kaldte den Davidsbyen;

And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David.

8 og han befæstede Byen hele Vejen rundt fra Millo af; Resten af Byen genopførte Joab.

And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab built the rest of the city.

9 Og David blev mægtigere og mægtigere; Hærskarers HERRE var med ham.

And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.

10 Følgende var de ypperste at Davids Helte, som sammen med hele Israel kraftig stod ham bi med at naa Kongedømmet, saa de fik ham valgt til Konge efter HERRENS Ord til Israel.

These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.

11 Navnene paa Davids Helte var følgende: Isjba'al, Hakmonis Søn, Anføreren for de tre; det var ham, som engang svang sit Spyd over 300 faldne paa een Gang.

And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred wounded by him at one time.

12 Blandt de tre Helte kom efter ham Ahohiten El'azar, Dodos Søn;

And after him was Eleazar his uncle’s son the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

13 han var med David ved Pas-Dammim, dengang Filisterne samlede sig der til Kamp. Marken var fuld af Byg, og Folkene flygtede for Filisterne;

He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 men han stillede sig op midt paa Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og HERREN gav dem en stor Sejr.

But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to his people.

15 Engang drog tre af de tredive ned til David paa Klippen, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisternes Hær var lejret i Refaimdalen.

And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the valley of Raphaim.

16 David var dengang i Klippeborgen, medens Filisternes Foged var i Betlehem.

And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in Bethlehem.

17 Saa vaagnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: »Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?«

And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.

18 Da banede de tre Helte sig Vej gennem Filisternes Lejr, øste Vand af Cisternen ved Betlehems Port og bragte David det. Han vilde dog ikke drikke det, men udgød det for HERREN

And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it, but rather offered it to the Lord,

19 med de Ord: »Gud vogte mig for at gøre det! Skulde jeg drikke de Mænds blod, som har vovet deres Liv? Thi med Fare for deres Liv har de hentet det!« Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Den Daad udførte de tre Helte.

Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink. These things did the three most valiant.

20 Abisjaj, Joabs Broder, var Anfører for de tredive. Han svang sit Spyd over de faldne, og han var navnkundig blandt de tredive;

And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,

21 iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre naaede han ikke.

And illustrious among the second three, and their captain: but yet he attained not to the first three.

22 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en tapper Mand fra Kabze'el, der havde udført store Heltegerninger; han fældede de to Arielsønner fra Moab; og han steg ned og fældede en Løve i en Cisterne, en Dag den var faldet Sne.

Banaias the son of Joiada, a most valiant man, of Cabseel, who had done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went down, and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.

23 Ligeledes fældede han Ægypteren, en kæmpestor Mand, fem Alen høj. Ægypteren havde et Spyd som en Væverbom i Haanden, men han gik ned imod ham med en Stok, vristede Spydet ud af Haanden paa ham og dræbte ham med hans eget Spyd.

And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam: and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24 Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte;

These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was renowned among the three valiant ones,

25 iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre naaede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.

And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three he attained not: and David made him of his council.
