1 Samuel 30

1 Da David og hans Mænd Tredjedagen efter kom til Ziklag, var Amalekiterne faldet ind i Sydlandet og Ziklag, og de havde indtaget Ziklag og stukket det i Brand;

And it was when came David and men his Ziklag on the day third and [the] Amalekite[s] they had made a raid against [the] Negev and against Ziklag and they had struck Ziklag and they had burned it with fire.

2 Kvinderne og alle, som var der, smaa og store, havde de taget til Fange; de havde ingen dræbt, men ført dem med sig, da de drog bort.

And they had taken captive the women who [were] in it from small and unto great not they had killed anyone and they had driven them away and they had gone to way their.

3 Da David og hans Mænd kom til Byen, se, da var den nedbrændt og deres Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre taget til Fange.

And he came David and men his to the city and there! [it was] burned with fire and wives their and sons their and daughters their they had been taken captive.

4 Da brast David og hans Krigere i lydelig Graad, og de græd, til de ikke kunde mere.

And he lifted up David and the people which [was] with him voice their and they wept until that not [was] in them strength to weep.

5 Ogsaa Davids to Hustruer Ahinoam fra Jizre'el og Abigajil, Karmeliten Nabals Hustru, var taget til Fange.

And [the] two [the] wives of David they had been taken captive Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 Og David kom i stor Vaande, thi Folkene tænkte paa at stene ham, da de alle græmmede sig over deres Sønner eller Døtre. Men David søgte Styrke hos HERREN sin Gud;

And it was distress to David exceedingly for they said the people to stone him for it was bitter [the] soul of all the people everyone on (sons his *Q(K)*) and on daughters his and he strengthened himself David in Yahweh God his.

7 og David sagde til Præsten Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn: »Bring mig Efoden hid!« Og Ebjatar bragte David den.

And he said David to Abiathar the priest [the] son of Ahimelech bring near! please to me the ephod and he brought near Abiathar the ephod to David.

8 Da raadspurgte David HERREN: »Skal jeg sætte efter denne Røverskare? Kan jeg indhente den?« Han svarede: »Sæt efter den; thi du skal indhente den og bringe Redning!«

And he enquired David by Yahweh saying will I pursue? after the marauding band this ¿ will I overtake it and he said to him pursue for certainly you will overtake [it] and certainly you will rescue [them].

9 Saa drog David af Sted med de 600 Mand, som var hos ham, og de kom til Besorbækken, hvor de, som skulde lades tilbage, blev staaende;

And he went David he and six hundred man who [were] with him and they came to [the] wadi of Besor and those [who] were left behind they remained.

10 men David begyndte Forfølgelsen med 400 Mand, medens 200 Mand, som var for udmattede til at gaa over Besorbækken, blev tilbage.

And he pursued David he and four hundred man and they remained two hundred man who they were [too] exhausted for passing over [the] wadi of Besor.

11 Og de fandt en Ægypter liggende paa Marken; ham tog de med til David og gav ham Brød at spise og Vand at drikke;

And they found a man Egyptian in the open country and they took him to David and they gave to him bread and he ate and they gave to drink him water.

12 desuden gav de ham en Figenkage og to Rosinkager. Da han havde spist, kom han til Kræfter; thi han havde hverken spist eller drukket i hele tre Døgn.

And they gave to him a slice of fig cake and two bunches of raisins and he ate and it returned spirit his to him for not he had eaten food and not he had drunk water three days and three nights.

13 David spurgte ham da: »Hvem tilhører du, og hvor er du fra?« Han svarede: »Jeg er en ung Ægypter, Træl hos en Amalekit; min Herre efterlod mig her, da jeg for tre Dage siden blev syg.

And he said to him David [belong] to whom? you and where? from this [are] you and he said [am] a young man Egyptian I a slave of a man Amalekite and he abandoned me master my if I was sick the day three.

14 Vi gjorde Indfald i det kretiske Sydland, i Judas Omraade og i Kalebs Sydland, og Ziklag stak vi i Brand.«

We we had made a raid [the] Negev of the Kerethite[s] and on [that] which [belongs] to Judah and on [the] Negev of Caleb and Ziklag we had burned with fire.

15 Da sagde David til ham: »Vil du vise mig Vej til denne Røverskare?« Han svarede: »Tilsværg mig ved Gud, at du hverken vil dræbe mig eller udlevere mig til min Herre, saa vil jeg vise dig Vej til den!«

And he said to him David ¿ will you take down me to the marauding band this and he said swear! to me by God if you will kill me and if you will deliver up me in [the] hand of master my and I will take down you to the marauding band this.

16 Saa viste han dem Vej, og de traf dem spredte rundt om i hele Egnen i Færd med at spise og drikke og holde Fest paa hele det store Bytte, de havde taget fra Filisterlandet og Judas Land.

And he took down him and there! [they were] spread out over [the] face of all the land eating and drinking and celebrating in all the plunder great which they had taken from [the] land of [the] Philistines and from [the] land of Judah.

17 David huggede dem da ned fra Dæmring til Aften; og ingen af dem undslap undtagen 400 unge Mænd, som svang sig paa Kamelerne og flygtede.

And he struck down them David from the twilight and until the evening of next day their and not he escaped of them anyone that except four hundred man young man who they rode on the camels and they fled.

18 Og David reddede alt, hvad Amalekiterne havde røvet, ogsaa sine to Hustruer.

And he rescued David all that they had taken Amalek and [the] two wives his he rescued David.

19 Og der savnedes intet, hverken smaat eller stort, hverken Byttet eller Sønnerne og Døtrene eller noget af, hvad de havde taget med; det hele bragte David tilbage.

And not it was missing to them from the small and unto the great and unto sons and daughters and from [the] booty and unto all that they had taken for themselves everything he brought back David.

20 Da tog de alt Smaakvæget og Hornkvæget og drev det hen for David og sagde: »Her er Davids Bytte!«

And he took David all the sheep and the cattle they drove [them] before the livestock that and they said this [is] [the] booty of David.

21 Da David kom til de 200 Mand, som havde været for udmattede til at følge ham, og som han havde ladet blive ved Besorbækken, gik de David og hans Folk i Møde, og David gik hen til Folkene og hilste paa dem.

And he came David to two hundred the men who they had been [too] exhausted - for going - after David and they had left behind them at [the] wadi of Besor and they went out to meet David and to meet the people which [was] with him and he approached David the people and he asked of them to welfare.

22 Men alle ildesindede Niddinger blandt dem, som havde fulgt David, tog til Orde og sagde: »De fulgte os ikke, derfor vil vi intet give dem af Byttet, vi har reddet; kun deres Hustruer og Børn maa de tage med hjem!«

And he answered every man evil and worthlessness from the men who they had gone with David and they said because that not they went with me not we will give to them any of the booty which we have recovered that except everyone wife his and children his so they may lead [them] away and they may go.

23 David sagde: »Saaledes maa I ikke gøre, nu da HERREN har været gavmild imod os og skærmet os og givet Røverskaren, som overfaldt os, i vor Haand.

And he said David not you must do thus O brothers my [that] which he has given Yahweh to us and he has kept us and he has given the marauding band which came on us in hand our.

24 Hvem er der vel, som vil følge eder i det? Nej, den, der drog i Kampen, og den, der blev ved Trosset, skal have lige Del, de skal dele med hinanden!«

And who? will he listen to you to the matter this for like [the] share of - the [one who] went down in the battle and like [the] share of the [one who] remained with the baggage alike they will share.

25 Og derved blev det baade den Dag og siden; han gjorde det til Lov og Ret i Israel, som det er den Dag i bag.

And it was from the day that and on-wards and he made it into a statute and into a judgment for Israel until the day this.

26 Da David kom til Ziklag, sendte han noget af Byttet til de Ældste i Juda, som var hans Venner, med det Bud: »Her er en Gave til eder af Byttet, der er taget fra HERRENS Fjender!«

And he came David to Ziklag and he sent some of the booty to [the] elders of Judah to friend his saying here! [is] for you a blessing from [the] booty of [the] enemies of Yahweh.

27 Det var til dem i Betel, i Ramot i Sydlandet, i Jattir,
