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.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Navnene på de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jaf1a,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 Men da Fiilisterne 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,
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard [of it], and went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David rådspurgte da Gud: "Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Hånd?" Og HERREN svarede ham: "Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Hånd!"
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: "Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Hånd, som Vand bryder igennem!" Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 Da David atter rådspurgte Gud, svarede han: "Drag ikke efter dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 Når du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi så er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slå Filisternes Hær."
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
