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.
Nach diesem schlug David die Philister und demütigte sie und nahm Gath und ihre Töchter aus der Philister Hand.
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].
Auch schlug er die Moabiter, daß die Moabiter David untertänig wurden und Geschenke brachten.
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.
Er schlug auch Hadadeser, den König zu Zoba in Hemath, da er hinzog, sein Zeichen aufzurichten am Wasser Phrath.
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.
Und David gewann ihm ab tausend Wagen, siebentausend Reiter und zwanzigtausend Mann zu Fuß. Und David verlähmete alle Wagen und behielt hundert Wagen übrig.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Und die Syrer von Damaskus kamen, dem Hadadeser, dem Könige zu Zoba, zu helfen. Aber David schlug derselben Syrer zweiundzwanzigtausend Mann.
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.
Und legte Volk gen Damaskus in Syrien, daß die Syrer David untertänig wurden und brachten ihm Geschenke. Denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
Und David nahm die güldenen Schilde, die Hadadesers Knechte hatten, und brachte sie gen 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].
Auch nahm David aus den Städten Hadadesers, Tibehath und Chun, sehr viel Erzes, davon Salomo das eherne Meer und Säulen und eherne Gefäße machte.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Und da Thogu, der König zu Hemath, hörete, daß David alle Macht Hadadesers, des Königs zu Zoba, geschlagen hatte,
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.
sandte er seinen Sohn Hadoram zum Könige David und ließ ihn grüßen und segnen, daß er mit Hadadeser gestritten und ihn geschlagen hatte. Denn Thogu hatte einen Streit mit Hadadeser. Auch alle güldenen, silbernen und ehernen Gefäße
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.
heiligte der König David dem HERRN mit dem Silber und Golde, das er den Heiden genommen hatte, nämlich den Edomitern, Moabitern, Ammonitern, Philistern und Amalekitern.
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.
Und Abisai, der Sohn Zerujas, schlug der Edomiter im Salztal achtzehntausend;
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.
und legte Volk in Edomäa, daß alle Edomiter David untertänig waren. Denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Also regierete David über das ganze Israel und handhabete Gericht und Gerechtigkeit all seinem Volk.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
Joab, der Sohn Zerujas, war über das Heer, Josaphat, der Sohn Ahiluds, war Kanzler.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
Zadok, der Sohn Ahitobs, und Abimelech, der Sohn Abjathars, waren Priester. Sausa war Schreiber.
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.
Benaja, der Sohn Jojadas, war über die Krethi und Plethi. Und die ersten Söhne Davids waren dem Könige zur Hand.
