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.
And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives 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 he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
5 Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,
And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia

And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
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,
And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in 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!«
And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
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 they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in 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.
And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-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.«
And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
