Første Krønikebog 18
1 Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og han fratog Filisterne Gat med Smaabyer.
And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,
2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.
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.
At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as 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 chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5 Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty 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.
And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.
7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he 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.
Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,
Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,
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 Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.
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 all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
12 Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
13 derpaa indsatte han Fogeder i Edom, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersaatter. Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.
14 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.
16 Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars Søn, var Præster; Sjavsja var Statsskriver;
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
17 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var de ypperste ved Kongens Side.
And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
