< 1 Chronicles 11 >
1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Da samledes hele Israel til David i Hebron og sagde: Se, vi ere dine Ben og dit Kød.
2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the LORD thy God said unto thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over My people Israel.'
Ogsaa tilforn, endog der Saul var Konge, har du ført Israel ud og ind; saa har og Herren din Gud sagt til dig: Du skal føde mit Folk Israel, og du skal være en Fyrste over mit Folk Israel.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Samuel.
Og alle Israels Ældste kom til Kongen i Hebron, og David gjorde en Pagt med dem i Hebron for Herrens Ansigt, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel efter Herrens Ord ved Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem — the same is Jebus — and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
Og David og hele Israel drog hen til Jerusalem, det er Jebus; og Jebusiterne vare der Landets Indbyggere.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: 'Thou shalt not come in hither.' Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
Og Indbyggerne i Jebus sagde til David: Du skal ikke komme herind; men David indtog Zions Befæstning, det er Davids Stad.
6 And David said: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.' And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
Og David sagde: Hvo som helst der først slaar Jebusiterne, skal være en Øverste og Høvedsmand; saa steg Joab, Zerujas Søn, først op og blev Øverste.
7 And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
Og David boede i Befæstningen, derfor kaldte man den Davids Stad.
8 And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
Og han byggede Staden deromkring, fra Milla og rundt omkring; og Joab udbedrede det øvrige af Byen.
9 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
Og David gik stedse frem og blev stor, og den Herre Zebaoth var med ham.
10 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
Og disse ere de Øverste iblandt de vældige, som David havde, som holdt mandeligen med ham i hans Regering tillige med hele Israel, saa at de gjorde ham til Konge efter Herrens Ord over Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them at one time.
Og dette er Tallet paa de vældige, som David havde: Jasobeam, Hakmonis Søn, en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, han svingede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne paa en Gang.
12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
Og efter ham var Eleasar, Dodos Søn, Ahohiten, han var iblandt de tre vældige.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
Han var med David i Pasdammin, der Filisterne vare samlede der til Striden, og der var et Stykke Ager fuldt med Byg, og Folket flyede for Filisternes Ansigt.
14 But they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
Og de stillede sig midt paa det Stykke og reddede det og sloge Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.
15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, unto the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
Og tre af de tredive ypperste droge ned til David ved Klippen til Hulen ved Adullam; men Filisternes Lejr havde lejret sig i Refaims Dal.
16 And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
Og David var da i Befæstningen, og Filisternes Besætning var da i Bethlehem.
17 And David longed, and said: 'Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!'
Og David fik Lyst og sagde: Hvo vil give mig Vand at drikke af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er ved Porten?
18 And the three broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD,
Da brøde de tre ind i Filisternes Lejr og droge Vand af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som var ved Porten, og toge det op og bragte det til David; men David vilde ikke drikke det, men udøste det for Herren.
19 and said: 'My God forbid it me, that I should do this; shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it.' Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Og han sagde: Min Gud lade det være langt fra mig at gøre dette; skulde jeg drikke disse Mænds Blod, da de have sat deres Liv i Fare? thi med Livsfare have de bragt det hid; og han vilde ikke drikke det; dette gjorde de tre vældige.
20 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
Og Abisaj, Joabs Broder, var den ypperste iblandt de tre, og han svingede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne; og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre.
21 Of the three in the second rank he was the most honourable, and was made their captain; howbeit he attained not to the first three.
Af de tre var han herligere end de to, derfor blev han deres Høvedsmand; men han naaede ikke de første tre.
22 Beniah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he smote the two altar-hearths of Moab; he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
Benaja, Jojadas Søn, en stridbar Mands Søn, mægtig i Gerninger, fra Kabzeel, han slog to Løvehelte af Moabiterne, og han gik ned og slog en Løve midt i en Brønd en Dag, da der var Sne.
23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Og han slog en ægyptisk Mand, en Mand, fem Alen høj, og Ægypteren havde et Spyd i Haanden som en Væverstang; men han gik ned imod ham med en Kæp, og han rev Spydet af Ægypterens Haand og slog ham ihjel med hans eget Spyd.
24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
Dette gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige.
25 Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three; and David set him over his guard.
Se, han var mere æret end de tredive, dog naaede han ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.
