2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og David fratog Filisterne Meteg-Ha'amma.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne, og han maalte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig ned paa Jorden og afmaalte to Snorlængder, der skulde dræbes, og een, der skulde blive i Live. Saaledes blev Moabiterne Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Ligeledes slog David Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba, da han var draget ud for at genoprette sit Herredømme ved Floden.
4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
David fratog ham 1700 Ryttere og 20 000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Stridshestene lamme paa hundrede nær, som han skaanede.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Og da Aramæerne fra Damaskus kom Hadad'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Derpaa indsatte David Fogeder i det damaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter. Saaledes, gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadad'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
og fra Hadad'ezers Byer Teba og Berotaj bortførte Kong David Kobber i store Mængder.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Men da Kong To'i af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Hadad'ezers Stridsmagt,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse paa ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadad'ezer og slaaet ham — Hadad'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'i — og han medbragte Sølv-, Guld— og Kobber-sager.
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde helliget af Byttet fra alle de undertvungne Folk,
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Edom, Moab Ammoniterne, Filisterne, Amalek, og af det Bytte, han havde taget fra Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Og David vandt sig et Navn. Da han vendte tilbage fra Sejren over Aram, slog han Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
derpaa indsatte han Fogeder i Edom; i hele Edom indsatte han Fogeder, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersaatter, Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadok, Abitubs Søn, og Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn, var Præster; Seraja var Statsskriver;
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var Præster.
