2 Samuel 8
1 After this, David struck the Philistines and subdued them; and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.
Nogen Tid efter slog David Filisterne og undertvang dem, og David fratog Filisterne Meteg-Ha'amma.
2 He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
Fremdeles slog han Moabiterne, og han målte dem med en Snor, idet han lod dem lægge sig ned på Jorden og afmålte to Snorlængder, der skulde dræbes, og een, der skulde blive i Live. Således blev Moabiterne Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter.
3 David also struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
Ligeledes slog David Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba, da han var draget ud for at genoprette sit Herredømme ved Floden.
4 David took from him one thousand and seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for one hundred chariots.
David fratog ham 1700 Ryttere og 20000 Mand Fodfolk og lod alle Stridshestene lamme på hundrede nær, som han skånede.
5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty two thousand men of the Syrians.
Og da Aramæerne fra Damaskus kom Hadad'ezer af Zoba til Hjælp, slog David 22000 Mand af Aramæerne.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
Derpå indsatte David Fogeder i det damaskenske Aram, og Aramæerne blev Davids skatskyldige Undersåtter. Således, gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
7 David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Og David tog de Guldskjolde, Hadad'ezers Folk havde båret, og bragte dem til Jerusalem;
8 From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of bronze.
og fra Hadad'ezers Byer Teba og Berotaj bortførte Kong David Kobber i store Mængder.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
Men da Kong To'i af Hamat hørte, at David havde slået hele Hadad'ezers Stridsmagt,
10 then Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
sendte han sin Søn Hadoram til Kong David for at hilse på ham og lykønske ham til, at han havde kæmpet med Hadad'ezer og slået ham - Hadad'ezer havde nemlig ligget i Krig med To'i - og han medbragte Sølv-, Guld- og Kobber-sager.
11 King David also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued—
Også dem helligede Kong David HERREN tillige med det Sølv og Guld, han havde helliget af Byttet fra alle de undertvungne Folk,
12 of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Edom, Moab Ammoniterne, Filisterne, Amalek, og af det Bytte, han havde taget fra Rehobs Søn, Kong Hadad'ezer af Zoba.
13 David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.
Og David vandt sig et Navn. Da han vendte tilbage fra Sejren over Aram, slog han Edom i Saltdalen, 18000 Mand;
14 He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. The LORD gave victory to David wherever he went.
derpå indsatte han Fogeder i Edom; i hele Edom indsatte han Fogeder, og alle Edomiterne blev Davids Undersåtter, Således gav HERREN David Sejr, overalt hvor han drog frem.
15 David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people.
Og David var Konge over hele Israel, og han øvede Ret og Retfærdighed mod hele sit Folk.
16 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,
