2 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines.
Og det skete derefter, at David slog Filisterne og ydmygede dem, og David tog Metheg-Ha-Amma ud af Filisternes Haand.
2 And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
Og han slog Moabiterne og maalte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig paa Jorden, og han maalte to Snore fulde til at slaa ihjel, og en Snor fuld til at lade leve; saa bleve Moabiterne Davids Tjenere, og de bragte ham Skænk.
3 David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates.
David slog og Hadad-Eser, Rekobs Søn, Kongen i Zoba, der denne drog hen at vende sin Haand mod Floden Frat.
4 And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and houghed all the chariot horses: and only reserved of them for one hundred chariots.
Og David tog fra ham tusinde og syv Hundrede Ryttere og tyve Tusinde Mand Fodfolk, og David lammede alle Vognheste og lod hundrede Heste blive tilovers af dem.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Adarezer the king of Soba: and David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Men Syrerne af Damaskus kom for at hjælpe Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, og David slog af Syrerne to og tyve Tusinde Mænd.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute: and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went.
Og David lagde Besætning i det damascenske Syrien; saa bleve Syrerne Davids Tjenere, som bragte ham Skænk; og Herren frelste David, ihvor han drog hen.
7 And David took the arms of gold, which the servants of Adarezer wore, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, som vare hos Hadad-Esers Tjenere, og førte dem til Jerusalem.
8 And out of Bete, and out of Beroth, cities of Adarezer, king David took an exceeding great quantity of brass.
Men af Betha og af Berothaj, Hadad-Esers Stæder, tog Kong David saare meget Kobber.
9 And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer.
Der Thoi, Kongen af Hamath, hørte, at David havde slaget hele Hadad-Esers Hær,
10 And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass:
da sendte Thoi sin Søn Joram til Kong David for at hilse ham og for at velsigne ham, fordi han havde stridt imod Hadad-Eser og slaget ham; thi Hadad-Eser førte stedse Krig imod Thoi; og han havde Sølvkar og Guldkar og Kobberkar med sig.
11 And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued:
Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David for Herren, tillige med det Sølv og det Guld, som han helligede fra alle de Hedninger, som han havde undertvunget,
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalec, and of the spoils of Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba.
fra Syrien og fra Moab og fra Ammons Børn og fra Filisterne og fra Amalek og af Byttet fra Hadad-Eser, Rekobs Søn, Kongen af Zoba.
13 David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand:
Og David gjorde sig navnkundig, der han kom tilbage, efter at han havde slaget Syrerne, og (slog af Edomiterne) udi Saltdalen atten Tusinde.
14 And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about.
Og han lagde Besætning udi Edom, udi hele Edom lagde han Besætning, og alle Edomiterne bleve Davids Tjenere; og Herren frelste David, ihvor han drog hen.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people.
Saa var David Konge over al Israel, og David gjorde Ret og Retfærdighed for alt sit Folk.
16 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
Og Joab, Zerujas Søn, var over Hæren, og Josafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Historieskriver;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Saraias was the scribe:
og Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Akimelek, Abjathars Søn, vare Præster, og Seraja var Skriver;
18 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethi and Phelethi: and the sons of David were the princes.
og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var over de Krethi og de Plethi, og Davids Sønner vare hans ypperste Raad.
