2 Samuel 21
1 Under Davids Regering blev der Hungersnød tre År i Træk. Da søgte David HERRENs Åsyn; og HERREN sagde: "Der hviler Blodskyld på Saul og hans Hus, fordi han dræbte Gibeoniterne!"
Then there was a famine in the dayes of Dauid, three yeeres together: and Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, and the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloodie house, because hee slewe the Gibeonites.
2 Kongen lod derfor Gibeoniterne kalde og sagde til dem - Gibeoniterne hørte ikke til Israeliterne, men til Levningerne af Amoriterne; og skønt Israeliterne havde givet dem endeligt Tilsagn, havde Saul i sin Iver for Israeliterne og Juda søgt at udrydde dem -
Then ye King called the Gibeonites and said vnto them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but a remnant of the Amorites, vnto whom ye children of Israel had sworne: but Saul sought to slay them for his zeale toward the children of Israel and Iudah)
3 David sagde til Gibeoniterne: "Hvad kan jeg gøre for eder, og hvorledes skal jeg skaffe Soning, så at I kan velsigne HERRENs Arvelod?"
And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord?
4 Gibeoniterne svarede: "Det er ikke Sølv eller Guld, der er os og Saul og hans Hus imellem, og vi har ikke Lov at dræbe nogen Mand i Israel!" Han sagde da: "Hvad I forlanger, vil jeg gøre for eder!"
The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.
5 Så sagde de til Kongen: "Den Mand, som bragte Ødelæggelse over os og tænkte på at udrydde os, så vi ikke skulde kunne være nogetsteds inden for Israels Landemærke.
Then they answered the King, The man that consumed vs and that imagined euill against vs, so that we are destroyed from remaining in any coast of Israel,
6 lad syv Mænd af hans Efterkommere blive udleveret os, for at vi kan hænge dem op for HERREN i Gibeon på HERRENs Bjerg!" Kongen sagde: "Jeg vil udlevere dem!"
Let seuen men of his sonnes be deliuered vnto vs, and we will hang them vp vnto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lordes chosen. And the King said, I will giue them.
7 Men Kongen skånede Mefibosjet, en Søn af Sauls Søn Jonatan, af Hensyn til den Ed ved HERREN, som var imellem David og Sauls Søn Jonatan.
But the King had compassion on Mephibosheth the sonne of Ionathan the sonne of Saul, because of the Lordes othe, that was betweene them, euen betweene Dauid and Ionathan the sonne of Saul.
8 Derimod tog Kongen de to Sønnner, som Rizpa, Ajjas Datter, havde født Saul, Armoni og Mefibosjet, og de fem Sønner, som Merab, Sauls Datter, havde født Adriel, en Søn af Barzillaj fra Mehola,
But the King tooke the two sonnes of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whome shee bare vnto Saul, euen Armoni and Mephibosheth and the fiue sonnes of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whome shee bare to Adriel the sonne of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 og udleverede dem til Gibeoniterne, som hængte dem op på Bjerget for HERRENs Åsyn. Således omkom alle syv på een Gang, og de blev dræbt først på Høsten, i Byghøstens Begyndelse.
And hee deliuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the mountaine before the Lord: so they died all seuen together, and they were slaine in the time of haruest: in the first dayes, and in the beginning of barly haruest.
10 Men Rizpa, Ajjas Datter, tog sit Sørgeklæde, bredte det ud på Klippen og sad der fra Høstens Begyndelse, indtil der atter strømmede Vand fra Himmelen ned over dem; og hun tillod ikke Himmelens Fugle at kaste sig over dem om Da- gen eller Markens Dyr om Natten.
Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah tooke sackecloth and hanged it vp for her vpon the rocke, from the beginning of haruest, vntill water dropped vpon them from the heauen, and suffered neither the birdes of the aire to light on the by day, nor beasts of the fielde by night.
11 Da David fik at vide, hvad Rizpa, Ajjas Datter, Sauls Medhustru, havde gjort,
And it was told Dauid, what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ye concubine of Saul had done.
12 drog han hen og hentede Sauls og hans Søn Jonatans Ben hos Borgerne i Jabesj i Gilead, som havde stjålet dem på Torvet i Bet-Sjan, hvor Filisterne havde hængt dem op, dengang de slog Saul på Gilboa.
And Dauid went and tooke the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne from the citizens of Iabesh Gilead, which had stollen them from the streete of Beth-shan, where the Philistims had hanged them, when the Philistims had slaine Saul in Gilboa.
13 Og da han havde hentet Sauls og hans Søn Jonatans Ben der, samlede man Benene af de hængte
So hee brought thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Ionathan his sonne, and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 og jordede dem sammen med Sauls og hans Søn Jonatans Ben i Zela i Benjamins Land i hans Fader Kisj's Grav. Alt, hvad Kongen havde påbudt, blev gjort; derefter forbarmede Gud sig over Landet.
And the bones of Saul and of Ionathan his sonne buried they in the coutrey of Beniamin in Zelah, in the graue of Kish his father: and when they had perfourmed all that the King had commanded, God was then appeased with the land.
15 Da det atter kom til Kamp mellem Filisterne og Israel, drog David med sine Folk ned og kastede sig ind i Gob og kæmpede med Filisterne.
Againe the Philistims had warre with Israel: and Dauid went downe, and his seruants with him, and they fought against the Philistims, and Dauid fainted.
16 Da fremstod Dod, som var af Rafaslægten, og hvis Spyd vejede 300 Sekel Kobber; han var iført en ny Rustning, og han havde i Sinde at slå David ihjel.
Then Ishi-benob which was of the sonnes of Haraphah (the head of whose speare wayed three hundreth shekels of brasse) euen he being girded with a newe sword, thought to haue slaine Dauid.
17 Men Abisjaj, Zerujas Søn, kom ham til Hjælp og huggede Filisteren ned. Da besvor Davids Mænd ham og sagde: "Du må ikke mere drage i Kamp med os, for at du ikke skal slukke Israels Lampe!"
But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistim, and killed him. Then Dauids men sware vnto him, saying, Thou shalt goe no more out with vs to battell, lest thou quench the light of Israel.
18 Siden hen kom det atter til Kamp med Filisterne i Gob. Husjatiten Sibbekaj nedhuggede da Saf, som var af Rafaslægten.
And after this also there was a battell with the Philistims at Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slewe Saph, which was one of ye sonnes of Haraphah.
19 Atter kom det til Kamp med Filisterne i Gob, Beflehemiten Elhanan, Ja'irs Søn, nedhuggede da Gatiten Goliat, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverbom.
And there was yet another battel in Gob with the Philistims, where Elhanah the sonne of Iaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite slewe Goliath the Gittite: the staffe of whose speare was like a weauers beame.
20 Atter kom det til Kamp i Gat. Da var der en kæmpestor Mand med seks Fingre på hver Hånd og seks Tæer på hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve; han var også af Rafaslægten.
Afterward there was also a battel in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on euerie hand sixe fingers, and on euerie foote sixe toes, foure and twentie in nomber: who was also the sonne of Haraphah.
21 Han hånede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
And when hee reuiled Israel, Ionathan the sonne of Shima the brother of Dauid slewe him.
22 Disse fire var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Hånd.
These foure were borne to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hande of Dauid and by the hands of his seruants.
