1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.
Og det skete derefter, at David slog Filisterne og ydmygede dem, og han tog Gat og dens tilliggende Byer af Filisternes Haand.
2 His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].
Han slog og Moabiterne, og Moabiterne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk.
3 David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.
David slog og Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, ved Hamat, der han drog hen at vende sin Haand imod Floden Frat.
4 David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.
Og David tog fra ham tusinde Vogne og syv Tusinde Ryttere og tyve Tusinde Fodfolk, og David lammede alle Vognhestene, og han lod kun hundrede Heste blive tilovers af dem.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Men Syrerne fra Damaskus kom for at hjælpe Hadad-Eser, Kongen af Zoba, og David slog af Syrerne to og tyve Tusinde Mand.
6 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they went.
Og David lagde Besætning udi Syrien i Damaskus, og Syrerne bleve Davids Tjenere og bragte ham Skænk, og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, som vare hos Hadad-Esers Tjenere, og førte dem til Jerusalem.
8 They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].
Og fra Tibehat og fra Kun, Hadad-Esers Stæder, tog David saare meget Kobber; deraf gjorde Salomo Kobberhavet og Støtterne og Kobberkarrene.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Og der Thou, Kongen af Hamat, hørte, at David havde slaget hele Hadad-Esers, Kongen af Zobas, Hær,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.
da sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse ham og at velsigne ham, fordi han havde stridt imod Hadad-Eser og slaget ham; thi Hadad-Eser førte stedse Krig imod Thou; og han havde alle Haande Guldkar og Sølvkar og Kobberkar med sig.
11 King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.
Ogsaa dem helligede Kong David for Herren, tillige med det Sølv og Guld, som han havde taget fra alle Hedninger, fra Edom og fra Moab og fra Ammons Børn og fra Filisterne og fra Amalek.
12 [One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.
Og Abisaj, Zerujas Søn, slog Edomiterne i Saltdalen, atten Tusinde.
13 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
Og han lagde Besætning i Edom, og alle Edomiterne bleve Davids Tjenere; og Herren frelste David, i hvor han drog hen.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Saa var David Konge over hele Israel, og han gjorde Ret og Retfærdighed for alt sit Folk.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
Og Joab, Zerujas Søn, var over Krigshæren, og Josafat, Ahiluds Søn, var Historieskriver.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
Og Zadok, Ahitubs Søn, og Abimelek, Abjathars Søn, vare Præster, og Sausa var Skriver.
17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ruled over the Kereth and Peleth groups [who were David’s bodyguards]. And David’s sons were his most important officials.
Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var over de Krethi og de Plethi; og Davids Sønner vare de første ved Kongens Haand.
