Første Krønikebog 14
1 Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Murere og Tømmermænd for at bygge ham et Hus.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Navnene paa de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,

8 Men da Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ud for at møde dem,
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10 David raadspurgte da Gud: »Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Haand?« Og HERREN svarede ham: »Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand!«
So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Saa drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: »Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, som Vand bryder igennem!« Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
14 Da David atter raadspurgte Gud, svarede han: »Drag ikke efter dem, men omgaa dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
15 Naar du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi saa er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slaa Filisternes Hær.«
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
