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,
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.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid 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!"
David enquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your 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 defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. 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.
They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
The Philistines made another raid 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.
David enquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite 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."
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
