1 Chronicles 14
1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Murere og Tømmermænd for at bygge ham et Hus.
2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
Navnene på de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Noga, Nefeg, Jaf1a,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
Men da Fiilisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ud for at møde dem,
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
David rådspurgte da Gud: "Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Hånd?" Og HERREN svarede ham: "Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Hånd!"
11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: "Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Hånd, som Vand bryder igennem!" Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
Da David atter rådspurgte Gud, svarede han: "Drag ikke efter dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
Når du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi så er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slå Filisternes Hær."
16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
