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.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Navnene paa de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
These were the names of the children who were 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,
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid 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!«
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
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 to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
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 for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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.«
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army 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. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
