2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
Derpå kom alle Israels Stammer til David i Hebron og sagde: "Vi er jo dit Kød og Blod!
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”
Allerede før i Tiden, da Saul var Konge over os, var det dig, som førte Israel ud i Kamp og hjem igen; og HERREN sagde til dig: Du skal vogte mit Folk Israel og være Hersker over Israel!"
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
Og alle Israels Ældste kom til Kongen i Hebron, og Kong David sluttede i Hebron Pagt med dem for HERRENs Åsyn, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
David var tredive År, da han blev Konge, og han herskede fyrretyve År.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
I Hebron herskede han over Juda syv År og seks Måneder, og i Jerusalem herskede han tre og tredive År over hele Israel og Juda.
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
Derpå drog Kongen med sine Mænd til Jerusalem mod Jebusiterne, som boede deri Landet. Man sagde til Kongen: "Her kan du ikke trænge ind, thi blinde og lamme vil slå dig tilbage!" Dermed vilde de sige: "David kommer ikke herind!"
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
Men David indtog Klippeborgen Zion, det er Davidsbyen.
8 David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”
På den Dag sagde David: "Enhver, som trænger frem til Vandledningen og slår en Jebusit, de halte og blinde, som Davids Sjæl hader, skal være Øverste og Hærfører". Derfor siger man: "En blind og en lam kommer ikke ind i Huset!"
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
Så tog David Bolig i Klippeborgen og kaldte den Davidsbyen; og han befæstede Byen rundt om fra Millo og indefter.
10 David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Armies, was with him.
Og David blev mægtigere og mægtigere; HERREN, Hærskarers Gud, var med ham.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Tømmermænd og Stenhuggere, som byggede ham et Hus.
12 David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
13 David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Medhustruer og Hustruer, efter at han var kommet dertil fra Hebron, og der fødtes ham flere Sønner og Døtre.
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Navnene på dem, som fødtes ham i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Jibhar, Elisjua, Nefeg, Jafia,
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisjama, Ba'aljada og Elifelet.
17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
Men da Filisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ned til Klippeborgen,
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
David rådspurgte da HERREN: "Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Hånd?" Og HERREN svarede David: "Drag op, thi jeg vil give Filisterne i din Hånd!"
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
Så drog David til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde han: "HERREN har brudt igennem mine Fjender foran mig, som Vand bryder igennem!" Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
21 They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David og hans Mænd tog dem.
22 The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Refaimdalen.
23 When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.
Da David rådspurgte HERREN, svarede han: "Drag ikke imod dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
Når du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du skynde dig, thi så er HERREN draget ud foran dig for at slå Filisternes Hær!"
25 David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
David gjorde, som HERREN bød, og slog Filisterne fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
