1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Murere og Tømmermænd for at bygge ham et Hus.
2 And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Navnene på de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg, Jaf1a,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
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,
9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
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!"
11 So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
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.
12 There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
13 Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
14 So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
Da David atter rådspurgte Gud, svarede han: "Drag ikke efter dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
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."
16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
17 And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
