Kings I 30
1 And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and struck Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.
Og det skete, der David og hans Mænd kom paa den tredje Dag til Ziklag, vare Amalekiterne faldne ind imod Sønden og imod Ziklag og havde slaaet Ziklag og opbrændt den med Ild,
2 And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they killed neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.
og de havde taget Kvinderne, som vare derudi, desuden baade smaa og store fangne; de havde ingen slaaet ihjel, men de havde bortført dem og vare gangne deres Vej.
3 And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
Og David og hans Mænd kom til Staden, og se, den var opbrændt med Ild, og deres Hustruer og deres Sønner og deres Døtre vare fangne.
4 And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
Da opløftede David og det Folk, som var hos ham, deres Røst og græd, indtil der ikke mere var Kraft i dem til at græde.
5 And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Og Davids to Hustruer vare fangne: Ahinoam, den jisreelitiske, og Abigail, Karmeliteren Nabals Hustru.
6 And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Og David blev saare angest, thi Folket havde sagt, at de vilde stene ham; thi det ganske Folks Sjæle vare beskeligen bedrøvede, hver for sine Sønner og for sine Døtre; men David styrkede sig i Herren sin Gud.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
Og David sagde til Abjathar, Præsten, Akimeleks Søn: Kære, før mig Livkjortlen frem; og Abjathar førte Livkjortlen frem til David.
8 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue [the captives].
Og David adspurgte Herren og sagde: Skal jeg forfølge denne Trop? mon jeg kan naa den? Og han sagde til ham: Forfølg, thi du skal naa den og bringe Redning.
9 So David went, he an the six hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.
Saa gik David hen, han og seks Hundrede Mand, som vare hos ham, og de kom til Bækken Besor; der bleve de øvrige staaende.
10 And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.
Men David forfulgte dem, han og fire Hundrede Mand, og to Hundrede Mand bleve staaende, som vare for trætte til at gaa over Besors Bæk.
11 And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.
Og de fandt en ægyptisk Mand paa Marken, og de toge ham med sig til David; og de gave ham Brød, og han aad, og de gave ham Vand at drikke.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.
De gave ham og en Klump Figen og to Klaser Rosiner, og han aad, og hans Aand kom til Kræfter igen; thi han havde ikke smagt Brød eller drukket Vand i tre Dage og tre Nætter.
13 And David said to him, Whose are you? and whence are you? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.
Og David sagde til ham: Hvem hører du til, og hvorfra er du? og han sagde: Jeg er en ægyptisk ung Karl, en amalekitisk Mands Tjener, og min Herre forlod mig, thi jeg blev syg for tre Dage siden.
14 And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.
Vi vare faldne ind Sønder paa imod Kreti og imod det, som hører til Juda, og Sønder paa imod Kaleb, og vi opbrændte Ziklag med Ild.
15 And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.
Da sagde David til ham: Vil du føre mig ned til denne Trop? og han sagde: Sværg mig ved Gud, at du ikke vil slaa mig ihjel eller overantvorde mig i min Herres Haand, saa vil jeg føre dig ned til denne Trop.
16 So be brought him down there, and behold, they [were] scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by [reason of] all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
Og han førte ham ned, og se, de vare adspredte over hele Landet; de aade og drak og holdt Højtid over alt det store Bytte, som de havde taget fra Filisternes Land og fra Judas Land.
17 And David came upon them, and struck them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.
Og David slog dem fra Tusmørket og indtil Aftenen paa den følgende Dag, og ingen undkom af dem uden fire Hundrede Mænd, unge Karle, som rede paa Kamelerne og undflyede.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
Saa reddede David alt det, som Amalekiterne havde taget; David reddede ogsaa sine to Hustruer.
19 And nothing was lacking to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
Og der var ingen borte af dem, hverken liden eller stor, hverken Sønner eller Døtre, hverken af Byttet eller af alt det, som de havde taget med sig; David førte det alt sammen tilbage.
20 And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These [are] the spoils of David.
Og David tog alt smaat Kvæg og stort Kvæg, og de førte det frem foran det øvrige Kvæg, og de sagde: Dette er Davids Bytte.
21 And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.
Der David kom til de to Hundrede Mænd, som vare blevne for trætte til at gaa efter David og vare blevne ved Besors Bæk, da gik de ud imod David og imod det Folk, som var hos ham, og David gik frem til Folket og hilsede dem.
22 Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.
Da svarede hver ond og Belials Mand blandt de Mænd, som vare gangne med David, og sagde: Efterdi de ikke gik med os, da skulle vi ikke give dem af Byttet, som vi have reddet, uden enhver hans Hustru og hans Børn, dem kunne de føre med sig og gaa bort.
23 And David said, You shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against u.
Da sagde David: I skulle ikke gøre saa, mine Brødre, med det, som Herren har givet os, han som har bevaret os og givet denne Trop, som var kommen over os, i vore Hænder.
24 And who will listen to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
Og hvo skulde høre eder i denne Sag? thi som hans Del er, som drog ned til Slaget, saa skal og hans Del være, som blev hos Tøjet, de skulle dele lige.
25 And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.
Og det blev saaledes fra den samme Dag og derefter; thi han gjorde det til en Skik og til en Ret i Israel indtil denne Dag.
26 And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold [some] of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
Og der David kom til Ziklag, da sendte han til de Ældste i Juda, til sine Venner af Byttet og lod sige: Se, der have I en Velsignelse af Herrens Fjenders Bytte;
27 to those in Baethsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.
nemlig til dem i Bethel og til dem i Ramoth mod Sønden og til dem i Jatthir
28 And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie,
og til dem i Aroer og til dem i Sifmoth og til dem i Esthemoa
29 and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath, and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;
og til dem i Rakal og til dem i Jerameeliternes Stæder og til dem i Keniternes Stæder
30 and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,
og til dem i Horma og til dem i Kor-Asan og til dem i Athak
31 and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.
og til dem i Hebron og til alle de Stæder, hvor David havde vandret, han og hans Mænd.
