1 Chronik 18

1 Nach diesem schlug David die Philister und demütigte sie und nahm Gath und ihre Töchter aus der Philister Hand.

After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.

2 Auch schlug er die Moabiter, daß die Moabiter David untertänig wurden und Geschenke brachten.

Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid him tribute.

3 Er schlug auch Hadadeser, den König zu Zoba in Hemath, da er hinzog, sein Zeichen aufzurichten am Wasser Phrath.

David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule by the Euphrates River.

4 Und David gewann ihm ab tausend Wagen, siebentausend Reiter und zwanzigtausend Mann zu Fuß. Und David verlähmete alle Wagen und behielt hundert Wagen übrig.

David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.

5 Und die Syrer von Damaskus kamen, dem Hadadeser, dem Könige zu Zoba, zu helfen. Aber David schlug derselben Syrer zweiundzwanzigtausend Mann.

When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.

6 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.

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

7 Und David nahm die güldenen Schilde, die Hadadesers Knechte hatten, und brachte sie gen Jerusalem.

David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Auch nahm David aus den Städten Hadadesers, Tibehath und Chun, sehr viel Erzes, davon Salomo das eherne Meer und Säulen und eherne Gefäße machte.

From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.

9 Und da Thogu, der König zu Hemath, hörete, daß David alle Macht Hadadesers, des Königs zu Zoba, geschlagen hatte,

When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

10 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

and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made of gold and silver and bronze.

11 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.

King David set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.

Abishai son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

13 und legte Volk in Edomäa, daß alle Edomiter David untertänig waren. Denn der HERR half David, wo er hinzog.

He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

14 Also regierete David über das ganze Israel und handhabete Gericht und Gerechtigkeit all seinem Volk.

David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
