1 Krønikebok 18
1 Ei tid etter dette vann David yverpå filistarane og lagde deim under seg, og han tok då Gat og dei bygderne som låg ikring or henderne på filistarane.
Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Han vann og yver moabitar, og so vart dei tenarar åt David og lagde skatt til honom.
And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.
3 Like eins vann David på Hadarezer, kongen i Soba, ved Hamat, då han hadde fare av stad og skulde tryggja magti si ved elvi Frat.
In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.
4 Og David tok ifrå honom eit tusund vognhestar og sju tusund hestfolk og tjuge tusund mann fotfolk. Og David let skjera av hasarne på alle vognhestarne og sparde berre eit hundrad hestar.
Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5 Og då syrarane frå Damaskus kom og skulde hjelpa Hadarezer, kongen i Soba, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund mann av syrarane.
Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.
6 Og David sette inn hervakter millom syrarane i Damaskus, og syrarane vart tenarar åt David og lagde skatt til honom. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han drog fram.
And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.
7 Og David tok dei gullskjoldarne som tenarane hans Hadarezer hadde bore, og førde deim til Jerusalem.
Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Og frå Tibhat og Kun, byarne hans Hadarezer, tok David kopar i stor mengd; av det gjorde Salomo koparhavet, sulorne og koparkjeraldi.
In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Då so To’u, kongen i Hamat, høyrde at David hadde slege heile heren hans Hadarezer, kongen i Soba,
Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,
10 sende han son sin, Hadoram, til kong David, at han skulde helsa på honom og ynskja honom til lukke med krigen mot Hadarezer og med sigeren yver kongen; for Hadarezer hadde jamt havt ufred med To’u. Han sende og alle slag kjerald av gull, sylv og kopar.
he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.
11 Deim og vigde kong David til Herren, sameleis som det med det sylvet og gullet han hadde ført heim frå alle andre folk: frå edomitarne, moabiterne, Ammons-sønerne, filistarane og amalekitarne.
Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.
12 Og Absai Serujason som slo edomitarne i Saltdalen, attan tusund mann.
Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.
13 So sette han vakt i Edom, og alle edomitarne vart tenarar åt David. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han for fram.
And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.
14 David var no konge yver heile Israel, og han skipa lov og rett åt heile sitt folk.
Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding, og Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
16 Sadok Ahitubsson og Abimelek Abjatarsson var prestar og Savsa riksskrivar,
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.
17 Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti, men Davids søner var dei fyrste ved sida åt kongen.
Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
