Kings II 8
1 And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from 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 David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne, og han målte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig ned på Jorden og afmålte to Snorlængder, der skulde dræbes, og een, der skulde blive i Live. Således blev Moabiterne Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.
3 And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to 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 a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
David fratog ham 1700 Ryttere og 20000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Stridshestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.
5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
Og da Aramæerne fra Damaskus kom Hadad'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22000 Mand af Aramæerne.
6 And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det damaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således, gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
7 And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadad'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
8 And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
og fra Hadad'ezers Byer Teba og Berotaj bortførte Kong David Kobber i store Mængder.
9 And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.
Men da Kong To'i af Hamat hørte, at David havde slået hele Hadad'ezers Stridsmagt,
10 And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadad'ezer og slået ham - Hadad'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'i - og han medbragte Sølv-, Guld- og Kobber-sager.
11 And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde helliget af Byttet fra alle de undertvungne Folk,
12 out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
Edom, Moab Ammoniterne, Filisterne, Amalek, og af det Bytte, han havde taget fra Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.
13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
Og David vandt sig et Navn. Da han vendte tilbage fra Sejren over Aram, slog han Edom i Saltdalen, 18000 Mand;
14 And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
derpå indsatte han Fogeder i Edom; i hele Edom indsatte han Fogeder, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersåtter, Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over 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 Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.
Joab, Zerujas Søn, var sat over Hæren; Josjafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Kansler;
17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,
Zadok, Abitubs Søn, og Ebjatar, Ahimeleks Søn, var Præster; Seraja var Statsskriver;
18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.
Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var sat over Kreterne og Pleterne, og Davids Sønner var Præster.
