2 Samuel 5
1 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your flesh and blood.
Da kom alle Israels Stammer til David i Hebron, og de sagde saaledes: Se, her ere vi, vi ere dine Ben og dit Kød.
2 Previously when Saul was our king, you were the one who led the Israelite army into battle. The Lord told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be their ruler.’”
Ogsaa tilforn, der Saul var Konge over os, da var du den, som førte Israel ud og ind; saa har Herren sagt til dig: Du skal vogte mit Folk Israel, og du skal være Fyrste over Israel.
3 All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made an agreement with them in the Lord's presence. Then they anointed him king of Israel.
Og alle de Ældste af Israel kom til Kongen i Hebron, og Kong David gjorde en Pagt med dem i Hebron for Herrens Ansigt, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel.
4 David was thirty when he became king, and he reigned for forty years.
David var tredive Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, han regerede fyrretyve Aar.
5 He reigned over Judah seven years and six months from Hebron, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah for thirty-three years from Jerusalem.
Han regerede i Hebron over Juda syv Aar og seks Maaneder og regerede i Jerusalem i tre og tredive Aar over hele Israel og Juda.
6 David the king and his men went to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who were living there. The Jebusites told David: “You'll never enter here. Even the blind and lame could stop you.” They were convinced that David could not get in.
Og Kongen drog hen og hans Mænd til Jerusalem imod Jebusiterne, som boede i Landet; og de sagde til David: Du skal ikke komme herind, men de blinde og lamme skulle drive dig bort; hvormed de vilde sige: David skal ikke komme herind.
7 But David did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as the City of David.
Men David indtog Zions Befæstning, det er Davids Stad.
8 At that time he said, “If we are to successfully conquer the Jebusites we'll have to go up the water shaft to attack these ‘lame and blind’ —these people who hate David. This is why it's said, ‘The blind and the lame will never enter the house.’”
Thi David havde sagt paa den samme Dag: Hvo som helst der slaar Jebusiterne og naar til Vandrenden og slaar de halte og de blinde, som ere Davids Sjæl forhadte —; derfor siger man: En blind eller en lam skal ikke komme ind i Huset.
9 David went and lived in the fortress, and named it the City of David. He extended it in all directions, starting from the outer supporting terraces and moving inwards.
Saa boede David i Befæstningen og kaldte den Davids Stad, og David byggede trindt omkring fra Millo af og indadtil.
10 David became increasingly powerful, for the Lord God Almighty was with him.
Og David gik stedse frem og blev stor; thi Herren Zebaoths Gud var med ham.
11 King Hiram of Tyre sent representatives to David, together with cedar timber, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
Og Hiram, Kongen af Tyrus, sendte Bud til David med Cedertræ og Mestre til at udhugge i Træ og Mestre til at udhugge i Sten til Vægge, og de byggede David et Hus.
12 David realized that the Lord had installed him as king of Israel, and had made his kingdom great for the sake of his people Israel.
Og David fornam, at Herren havde stadfæstet ham til Konge over Israel, og at han havde ophøjet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
13 After he moved from Hebron, David added more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and he had more sons and daughters.
Og David tog endnu Medhustruer og Hustruer af Jerusalem, efter at han var kommen fra Hebron; og der fødtes endnu Sønner og Døtre for David.
14 These are the names of his children born in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Og disse ere deres Navne, som ham fødtes i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab og Nathan og Salomo
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
og Jibkar og Elisua og Nefeg og Jafla
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
og Elisama og Eljada og Elifelet.
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king of Israel, the whole Philistine army came out to capture him, but David found out and went inside the stronghold.
Der Filisterne hørte, at de havde salvet David til Konge over Israel, da droge alle Filisterne op for at søge efter David; der David hørte det, da drog han ned til Befæstningen.
18 The Philistines came and spread out across the Valley of Rephaim.
Og Filisterne kom, og de spredte sig i Refaims Dal.
19 David asked the Lord “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” “Yes, go,” the Lord replied, “for I will definitely hand them over to you.”
Og David spurgte Herren ad og sagde: Skal jeg drage op imod Filisterne? vil du give dem i min Haand? Og Herren sagde til David: Drag op, thi jeg vil give Filisterne i din Haand.
20 David went to Baal-perazim and he defeated the Philistines there. “Like a flood that bursts out, so the Lord has burst out against my enemies right before me,” David declared. So he named that place Baal-perazim.
Og David kom til Baal-Perazim, og David slog dem der og sagde: Herren har brudt igennem mine Fjender for mit Ansigt, som Vand bryder igennem; derfor kalder man det samme Steds Navn Baal-Perazim.
21 The Philistines left their idols behind, and David and his men removed them.
Og de efterlode deres Afguder der, og David og hans Mænd toge dem op.
22 A while later the Philistines came again and spread out across the Valley of Rephaim.
Men Filisterne bleve endnu ved at drage op og spredte sig i Refaims Dal.
23 David asked the Lord what to do. The Lord replied, “Don't attack them directly, but go round behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
Og David spurgte Herren ad, men han sagde: Du skal ikke drage op; men kom omkring bag paa dem, at du kommer til dem tværs over for Morbærtræerne.
24 Immediately you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees be ready, because this means the Lord has marched out before you to attack the Philistine camp.”
Og det skal ske, naar du hører en Lyd af en Skriden hen over Morbærtræernes Toppe, da maa du røre dig; thi da er Herren udgangen for dit Ansigt til at slaa Filisternes Lejr.
25 David followed the Lord's orders, and he slaughtered the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
Og David gjorde saaledes, ligesom Herren havde befalet ham, og slog Filisterne fra Geba indtil hen imod Geser.
