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 messengers unto David, and timber of cedars, with masons and artificers, to build for him a house.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
So David perceived, that Yahweh, had confirmed him, as king over Israel, —that his kingship was exalted, 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 David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Navnene paa de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
Now, these, are the names of them who were born, whom 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;
7 Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
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 heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, —and David, hearing, went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale 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!«
Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy 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 they came up in Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and David said, God hath broken forth against mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking forth of waters, —For this cause, called they the name of that place, Baal-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And they left their gods there, —and David gave the word, and they were burned up in fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves out in the vale.
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, asked again, of God, and God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, —get thee round, away from them, so shalt thou come in upon them, over against the mulberry-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 it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, —for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite the host 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 commanded him, —and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And the name of David went forth, throughout all the lands, —and, Yahweh, put the dread of him upon all the nations.
