2 Samuel 8
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.
Och det begaf sig derefter, att David slog de Philisteer, och förnedrade dem, och tog träldomsbetslet utu de Philisteers hand.
2 And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.
Han slog ock de Moabiter så till jordena, att han två delar drap, och en del lät lefvandes blifva. Alltså vordo de Moabiter David underdånige, så att de förde skänker till honom.
3 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
David slog ock HadadEser, Rehobs son, Konungen i Zoba, då han drog ut till att hemta sin magt igen, vid den älfven Phrath.
4 And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
Och David fångade af dem tusende och sjuhundrad resenärar, och tjugutusend fotfolk; och hasade alla vagnhästar, och behöll qvar hundrade vagnar.
5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.
Så kommo de Syrer af Damascon, till att hjelpa HadadEser, Konungen i Zoba; och David slog de Syrer, tu och tjugu tusend män;
6 And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Och lade folk till Damascon i Syria. Alltså vardt Syria David underdånig, så att de förde skänker till honom; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
7 And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
Och David tog de gyldene sköldar, som HadadEsers tjenare tillhört hade, och förde dem till Jerusalem.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
Men ifrå Bethah, och Berothai, HadadEsers städer, tog Konung David ganska mycken koppar.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Då Thoi, Konungen i Hemath, hörde att David hade slagit alla HadadEsers magt,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:
Sände han Joram sin son till David, till att helsa honom vänliga, och välsigna honom, att han hade stridt med HadadEser, och slagit honom; ty Thoi hade örlig med HadadEser, och han hade med sig silfver, och gyldene, och koppartyg;
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —
Hvilka Konung David ock helgade Herranom, samt med det silfver och guld, som han helgade af allom Hedningom, dem han under sig tvingade,
12 The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Af Syria, af Moab, af Ammons barn, af de Philisteer, af Amalek, af HadadEsers rof, Rehobs sons, Konungens i Zoba.
13 And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.
Och gjorde David sig ett namn, då han igenkom och slog de Syrer i saltdalenom, adertontusend.
14 And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Och han lade folk i hela Edomea; och hela Edom var David undergifven; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
Alltså vardt David Konung öfver hela Israel; och han skaffade rätt och rättviso allo folkena.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Joab, ZeruJa son, var öfver hären; men Josaphat, Ahiluds son, var canceller.
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadok, Ahitobs son, och Ahimelech, AbJathars son, voro Prester; Seraja var skrifvare;
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Benaja, Jojada son, var öfver Crethi och Plethi; och Davids söner voro Prester.
