Første Krønikebog 18
1 Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og han fratog Filisterne Gat med Smaabyer.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 Ligeledes slog David Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba i Nærheden af Hamat, da han var draget ud for at underlægge sig Egnene ved Eufratfloden.
As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4 David fratog ham 1000 Vogne, 7000 Ryttere og 20 000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme paa hundrede nær, som han skaanede.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 Derpaa indsatte David Fogeder i det darmaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter. Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 og fra Hadar'ezers Byer, Tibhat og Kun, bortførte David Kobber i store Mængder; deraf lod Salomo Kobberhavet, Søjlerne og Kobbersagerne lave.
And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
9 Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,
When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse paa ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadar'ezer og slaaet ham — Hadar'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'u — og han medbragte alle Haande Sølv-, Guld og Kobbersager.
he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,
11 Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde taget fra alle Folkeslagene, Edom, Moab, Ammoniterne, Filisterne og Amalek.
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.
12 Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 derpaa indsatte han Fogeder i Edom, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersaatter. Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
14 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
15 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
16 Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars Søn, var Præster; Sjavsja var Statsskriver;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
17 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var de ypperste ved Kongens Side.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
