1 Chronicles 14
1 And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Murere og Tømmermænd for at bygge ham et Hus.
2 And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
3 And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
4 And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Navnene paa de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,
7 And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
8 But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
Men da Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ud for at møde dem,
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
10 And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
David raadspurgte da Gud: »Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Haand?« Og HERREN svarede ham: »Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand!«
11 And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
Saa drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: »Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, som Vand bryder igennem!« Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
12 And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
13 And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
14 And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
Da David atter raadspurgte Gud, svarede han: »Drag ikke efter dem, men omgaa dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
Naar du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi saa er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slaa Filisternes Hær.«
16 And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
