1 Chronicles 18
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.
Danach schlug David die Philister und demütigte sie. Er nahm Gat mit seinen Tochterorten den Philistern weg.
2 And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
Dann schlug er Moab, und die Moabiter wurden David untertan und brachten Gaben.
3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
Hierauf schlug David den König von Soba, Hadarezer, gegen Hamat zu, als er daranging, seine Macht am Euphratstrome aufzurichten.
4 And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
David nahm ihm 1.000 Wagen, 7.000 Reiter und 20.000 Mann Fußvolk weg. Alle Rosse lähmte David. Nur 100 Rossewagen ließ er übrig.
5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.
Da kamen die damaszenischen Aramäer dem König von Soba, Hadarezer, zu Hilfe. Aber David schlug die Aramäer, 22.000 Mann.
6 Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Dann setzte David im damaszenischen Aram Vögte ein. So wurden die Aramäer David untertan und steuerpflichtig. Der Herr half David überall, wohin er zog.
7 And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.
David nahm auch die goldenen Schilde, die Hadarezers Knechte trugen, und brachte sie nach Jerusalem.
8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.
Aus Tibchat und Kun, Hadarezers Städten, holte David sehr viel Erz. Daraus machte Salomo das eherne Meer, die Säulen und die ehernen Geräte.
9 Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Da hörte Hamats König Tou, David habe die ganze Streitmacht Hadarezers, des Königs von Soba, geschlagen.
10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
So sandte er nun seinen Sohn Hadoram zu König David, ihn zu begrüßen und zu beglückwünschen wegen seines siegreichen Kampfes mit Hadarezer. Denn Hadarezer war Tous Kriegsgegner. Er sandte auch allerlei goldene, silberne und eherne Gegenstände.
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
Auch sie weihte König David dem Herrn samt dem Silber und Gold, das er von den Heiden weggeführt hatte, von Edom, Moab, den Söhnen Ammons, den Philistern und den Amalekitern.
12 And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,
Serujas Sohn, Absai, aber hatte Edom, 18.000 Mann, im Salztal geschlagen.
13 David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Er setzte in Edom Vögte ein, und ganz Edom ward David untertan. Und der Herr half David überall, wohin er kam.
14 So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
So regierte David ganz Israel und übte Recht und Gerechtigkeit an seinem ganzen Volk.
15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
Joab, Serujas Sohn, war über das Heer gesetzt. Achiluds Sohn Josaphat war Kanzler,
16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
Sadok, Achitubs Sohn, und Ebjatars Sohn Abimelek waren Priester und Savsa Schreiber.
17 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
Benjahu, Jojadas Sohn, befehligte die Bogenschützen und die Schildträger. Davids Söhne aber waren die Ersten um den König.
