Første Krønikebog 18

1 Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og han fratog Filisterne Gat med Småbyer.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.

And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents.

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.

And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah by Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion at the river Euphrates.

4 David fratog ham 1.000 Vogne, 7.008 Ryttere og 20.000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots.

5 Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22.000 Mand af Aramæerne.

And when the Arameans of Damascus came to succour Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Arameans two and twenty thousand men.

6 Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det darmaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.

Then David put garrisons in Aram Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought presents. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

7 Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and 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.

And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith 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 slået hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,

And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,

10 sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadar'ezer og slået ham - Hadar'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'u - og han medbragte alle Hånde Sølv-, Guld og Kobbersager.

he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him — because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer had wars with Tou — and he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

11 Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde taget fra alle Folkeslagene, Edom, Moab, Ammoniterne, Filisterne og Amalek.

These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12 Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18000 Mand;

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.

13 derpå indsatte han Fogeder i Edom, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersåtter. Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.

And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

14 Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.

And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.

15 Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.

16 Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars Søn, var Præster; Sjavsja var Statsskriver;

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

17 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var de ypperste ved Kongens Side.

and Beniah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
