Chronicles I 18

1 And it came to pass afterwards, that David struck the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og han fratog Filisterne Gat med Småbyer.

2 And he struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, [and] tributaries.

Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne; og Moabiterne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.

3 And David struck Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power towards the river Euphrates.

Ligeledes slog David Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba i Nærheden af Hamat, da han var draget ud for at underlægge sig Egnene ved Eufratfloden.

4 And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots.

David fratog ham 1.000 Vogne, 7.008 Ryttere og 20.000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Hestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.

5 And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David struck of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men.

Og da Aramæerne fra Darmaskus kom Kong Hadar'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22.000 Mand af Aramæerne.

6 And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det darmaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.

7 And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem.

Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadar'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;

8 And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels.

og fra Hadar'ezers Byer, Tibhat og Kun, bortførte David Kobber i store Mængder; deraf lod Salomo Kobberhavet, Søjlerne og Kobbersagerne lave.

9 And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had struck the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba.

Men da Kong To'u af Hamat hørte, at David havde slået hele Kong Hadar'ezer af Zobas Stridsmagt,

10 And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and struck him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar.

sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadar'ezer og slået ham - Hadar'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'u - og han medbragte alle Hånde Sølv-, Guld og Kobbersager.

11 And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumaea, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde taget fra alle Folkeslagene, Edom, Moab, Ammoniterne, Filisterne og Amalek.

12 And Abesa son of Saruia struck the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand.

Og Absjaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edom i Saltdalen, 18000 Mand;

13 And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumaeans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went.

derpå indsatte han Fogeder i Edom, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersåtter. Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.

14 So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgement and justice to all his people.

Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.

15 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was] recorder.

Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;

16 And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Susa [was] the scribe;

Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Ebjatars Søn, var Præster; Sjavsja var Statsskriver;

17 and Banaeas the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.

Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var de ypperste ved Kongens Side.
