2 Samuel 8

1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from the hand of the Philistines.

Und es begab sich danach, daß David die Philister schlug und schwächte sie; und nahm den Dienstzaum von der Philister Hand.

2 And he struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep alive. And Moab was made to serve David under tribute.

Er schlug auch die Moabiter also zu Boden, daß er zwei Teile zum Tode brachte und ein Teil beim Leben ließ. Also wurden die Moabiter David untertänig, daß sie ihm Geschenke zutrugen.

3 And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.

David schlug auch Hadadeser, den Sohn Rehobs, König zu Zoba, da er hinzog, seine Macht wieder zu holen an dem Wasser Phrath.

4 And from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.

Und David fing aus ihnen tausend und siebenhundert Reiter und zwanzigtausend Fußvolks; und verlähmte alle Wagen und behielt übrig hundert Wagen.

5 And the Syrians of Damascus arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

Es kamen aber die Syrer von Damaskus, zu helfen Hadadeser, dem Könige zu Zoba; und David schlug der Syrer zweiundzwanzigtausend Mann

6 And David positioned a garrison in Syria of Damascus. And Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.

und legte Volk gen Damaskus in Syrien. Also ward Syrien David untertänig, daß sie ihm Geschenke zutrugen. Denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.

7 And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

Und David nahm die güldenen Schilde, die Hadadesers Knechten waren, und brachte sie gen Jerusalem.

8 And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.

Aber von Betah und Berothai, den Städten Hadadesers, nahm der König David fast viel Erzes.

9 Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.

Da aber Thoi, der König zu Hemath, hörete, daß David hatte alle Macht des Hadadeser geschlagen,

10 And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass.

sandte er Joram, seinen Sohn, zu David, ihn freundlich zu grüßen und ihn zu segnen, daß er wider Hadadeser gestritten und ihn geschlagen hatte (denn Thoi hatte einen Streit mit Hadadeser), und er hatte mit sich silberne, güldene und eherne Kleinode,

11 And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:

welche der König David auch dem HERRN heiligte samt dem Silber und Golde, das er dem HERRN heiligte von allen Heiden, die er unter sich brachte:

12 from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.

von Syrien, von Moab, von den Kindern Ammon, von den Philistern, von Amalek, vom Raube Hadadesers, des Sohns Rehobs, Königs zu Zoba.

13 David also made a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down eighteen thousand.

Auch machte ihm David einen Namen, da er wiederkam und die Syrer schlug im Salztal, achtzehntausend.

14 And he positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.

Und er legte Volk in ganz Edomäa, und ganz Edom war David unterworfen; denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.

15 And David reigned over all of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.

Also ward David König über ganz Israel, und er schaffte Recht und Gerechtigkeit allem Volk.

16 Now Joab, the son Zeruiah, was over the army. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

Joab, der Sohn Zerujas, war über das Heer; Josaphat aber, der Sohn Ahiluds, war Kanzler;

17 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Seraiah was the scribe.

Zadok, der Sohn Ahitobs, und Ahimelech, der Sohn Abjathars, waren Priester; Seraja war Schreiber;

18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were priests.

Benaja, der Sohn Jojodas, war über die Krethi und Plethi; und die Söhne Davids waren Priester.
