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.
Derefter slo David filistrene og ydmyket dem, og han tok Gat med tilhørende småbyer ut av filistrenes hender.
2 And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
Han slo også moabittene, og moabittene blev Davids tjenere og måtte svare ham skatt.
3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
Likeledes slo David kongen i Soba Hadareser ved Hamat, da han drog avsted for å styrke sitt herredømme ved Frat-elven.
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.
Og David tok fra ham tusen vognhester og syv tusen hestfolk og tyve tusen mann fotfolk; og David lot skjære fotsenene over på alle vognhestene; bare hundre vognhester sparte han.
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.
Syrerne fra Damaskus kom for å hjelpe Hadareser, kongen i Soba; men David slo to og tyve tusen mann av dem.
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.
Og David la krigsmannskap i det damaskenske Syria, og syrerne blev Davids tjenere og måtte svare ham skatt. Således hjalp Herren David overalt hvor han drog frem.
7 And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.
David tok de gullskjold som Hadaresers tjenere hadde båret, og førte dem til 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.
Og fra Hadaresers byer Tibhat og Kun tok David en stor mengde kobber; av det gjorde Salomo kobberhavet og søilene og kobberkarene.
9 Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
Da kongen i Hamat To'u hørte at David hadde slått hele Soba-kongen Hadaresers hær,
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.
sendte han sin sønn Hadoram til kong David for å hilse på ham og ønske ham til lykke, fordi han hadde stridt mot Hadareser og slått ham; for Hadareser hadde jevnlig ført krig mot To'u. Han sendte også alle slags gullkar og sølvkar og kobberkar.
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.
Også dem helliget kong David til Herren sammen med det sølv og gull han hadde tatt fra alle hedningefolkene: fra Edom og fra Moab og fra Ammons barn og fra filistrene og fra amalekittene.
12 And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,
Det var Absai, Serujas sønn, som slo edomittene i Saltdalen, atten tusen mann.
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.
Så la han krigsmannskap i Edom, og alle edomittene blev Davids tjenere. Således hjalp Herren David overalt hvor han drog frem.
14 So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
Så regjerte nu David over hele Israel, og han gjorde rett og rettferdighet mot hele sitt folk.
15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
Joab, Serujas sønn, var høvding over hæren, og Josafat, Akiluds sønn, historieskriver;
16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
Sadok, Akitubs sønn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars sønn, var prester og Savsa statsskriver;
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.
Benaja, Jojadas sønn, var høvding over livvakten, og Davids sønner var de første ved kongens side.
