< 2 Samuel 8 >

1 AND after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og David fratog Filisterne Meteg-Ha'amma.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne, og han maalte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig ned paa Jorden og afmaalte to Snorlængder, der skulde dræbes, og een, der skulde blive i Live. Saaledes blev Moabiterne Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter.
3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
Ligeledes slog David Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba, da han var draget ud for at genoprette sit Herredømme ved Floden.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
David fratog ham 1700 Ryttere og 20 000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Stridshestene lamme paa hundrede nær, som han skaanede.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Og da Aramæerne fra Damaskus kom Hadad'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22 000 Mand af Aramæerne.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
Derpaa indsatte David Fogeder i det damaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersaatter. Saaledes, gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadad'ezers Folk havde baaret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
og fra Hadad'ezers Byer Teba og Berotaj bortførte Kong David Kobber i store Mængder.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
Men da Kong To'i af Hamat hørte, at David havde slaaet hele Hadad'ezers Stridsmagt,
10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse paa ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadad'ezer og slaaet ham — Hadad'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'i — og han medbragte Sølv-, Guld— og Kobber-sager.
11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde helliget af Byttet fra alle de undertvungne Folk,
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Edom, Moab Ammoniterne, Filisterne, Amalek, og af det Bytte, han havde taget fra Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.
13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
Og David vandt sig et Navn. Da han vendte tilbage fra Sejren over Aram, slog han Edom i Saltdalen, 18 000 Mand;
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
derpaa indsatte han Fogeder i Edom; i hele Edom indsatte han Fogeder, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersaatter, Saaledes gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Zadok, Abitubs Søn, og Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn, var Præster; Seraja var Statsskriver;
18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var Præster.
