Første Krønikebog 18
1 Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og han fratog Filisterne Gat med Smaabyer.
And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.
2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
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.
Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
4 David fratog ham 1000 Vogne, 7000 Ryttere og 20 000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme paa hundrede nær, som han skaanede.
And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
5 Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.
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 David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took 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 from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.
9 Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,
Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the 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 King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
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.
These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
12 Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the 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.
David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
14 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
15 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
16 Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars Søn, var Præster; Sjavsja var Statsskriver;
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
17 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var de ypperste ved Kongens Side.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
