1 Chronicles 20
1 And it comes to pass, at the time of the turn of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that Joab leads out the force of the host, and destroys the land of the sons of Ammon, and comes in and besieges Rabbah—David is abiding in Jerusalem—and Joab strikes Rabbah, and breaks it down.
Næste Aar, ved den Tid Kongerne drager i Krig, førte Joab Krigshæren ud og hærgede Ammoniternes Land; derpaa drog han hen og belejrede Rabba. David blev derimod selv i Jerusalem. Og Joab indtog Rabba og ødelagde det.
2 And David takes the crown of their king from off his head, and finds it [to be] a talent of gold [in] weight, and [with] precious stone in it, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out very much spoil of the city,
Da tog David Kronen af Milkoms Hoved, og han fandt, at den var af Guld og vejede en Talent; der var en Ædelsten paa den, og den blev sat paa Davids Hoved. Et vældigt Bytte fra Byen førte han med sig,
3 and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus David does to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turns back—and all the people—to Jerusalem.
og Indbyggerne slæbte han bort og satte dem til Savene, Jernhakkerne og Økserne. Saaledes gjorde han ved alle Ammoniternes Byer. Derpaa vendte David og hele Hæren tilbage til Jerusalem.
4 And it comes to pass after this, that war remains in Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
Siden hen kom det atter til Kamp med Filisterne i Gezer. Husjatiten Sibbekaj nedhuggede da Sippaj, som var af Rafaslægten, og de blev underkuet.
5 And there is war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan son of Jair strikes Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
Atter kom det til Kamp med Filisterne. Elhanan, Ja'irs Søn, nedhuggede da Lami, Gatiten Goliats Broder, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverbom.
6 And there is war in Gath again, and there is a man of [great] measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six—twenty-four [total], and he has also been born to the giant.
Atter kom det til Kamp i Gat. Da var der en kæmpe stor Mand med seks Fingre paa hver Haand og seks Tæer paa hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve; han var ogsaa af Rafaslægten.
7 And he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, strikes him.
Han haanede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Disse var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Haand.
