1 Chronicles 18

1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

Og det skete derefter, at David slog Filisterne og ydmygede dem, og han tog Gat og dens tilliggende Byer af Filisternes Haand.

2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

Han slog og Moabiterne, og Moabiterne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk.

3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

David slog og Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, ved Hamat, der han drog hen at vende sin Haand imod Floden Frat.

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

Og David tog fra ham tusinde Vogne og syv Tusinde Ryttere og tyve Tusinde Fodfolk, og David lammede alle Vognhestene, og han lod kun hundrede Heste blive tilovers af dem.

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

Men Syrerne fra Damaskus kom for at hjælpe Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, og David slog af Syrerne to og tyve Tusinde Mand.

6 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

Og David lagde Besætning udi Syrien i Damaskus, og Syrerne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk, og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.

7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

Og David tog de Guldskjolde, som vare hos Hadad-Esers Tjenere, og førte dem til Jerusalem.

8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

Og fra Tibehat og fra Kun, Hadad-Esers Stæder, tog David saare meget Kobber; deraf gjorde Salomo Kobberhavet og Støtterne og Kobberkarrene.

9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

Og der Thou, Kongen af Hamat, hørte, at David havde slaget hele Hadad-Esers, Kongen af Zobas, Hær,

10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

da sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse ham og at velsigne ham, fordi han havde stridt imod Hadad-Eser og slaget ham; thi Hadad-Eser førte stedse Krig imod Thou; og han havde alle Haande Guldkar og Sølvkar og Kobberkar med sig.

11 Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David for Herren, tillige med det Sølv og Guld, som han havde taget fra alle Hedninger, fra Edom og fra Moab og fra Ammons Børn og fra Filisterne og fra Amalek.

12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

Og Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edomiterne i Saltdalen, atten Tusinde.

13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David’s servants. Thus the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

Og han lagde Besætning i Edom, og alle Edomiterne bleve Davids Tjenere; og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

Saa var David Konge over hele Israel, og han gjorde Ret og Retfærdighed for alt sit Folk.

15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

Og Joab, Zerujas Søn, var over Krigshæren, og Josafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Historieskriver.

16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

Og Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Abjathars Søn, vare Præster, og Sausa var Skriver.

17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var over de Krethi og de Plethi; og Davids Sønner vare de første ved Kongens Haand.
