2 Samuelsboken 8
1 Och det begaf sig derefter, att David slog de Philisteer, och förnedrade dem, och tog träldomsbetslet utu de Philisteers hand.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Han slog ock de Moabiter så till jordena, att han två delar drap, och en del lät lefvandes blifva. Alltså vordo de Moabiter David underdånige, så att de förde skänker till honom.
David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 David slog ock HadadEser, Rehobs son, Konungen i Zoba, då han drog ut till att hemta sin magt igen, vid den älfven Phrath.
David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4 Och David fångade af dem tusende och sjuhundrad resenärar, och tjugutusend fotfolk; och hasade alla vagnhästar, och behöll qvar hundrade vagnar.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Så kommo de Syrer af Damascon, till att hjelpa HadadEser, Konungen i Zoba; och David slog de Syrer, tu och tjugu tusend män;
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 Och lade folk till Damascon i Syria. Alltså vardt Syria David underdånig, så att de förde skänker till honom; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 Och David tog de gyldene sköldar, som HadadEsers tjenare tillhört hade, och förde dem till Jerusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Men ifrå Bethah, och Berothai, HadadEsers städer, tog Konung David ganska mycken koppar.
And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
9 Då Thoi, Konungen i Hemath, hörde att David hade slagit alla HadadEsers magt,
When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10 Sände han Joram sin son till David, till att helsa honom vänliga, och välsigna honom, att han hade stridt med HadadEser, och slagit honom; ty Thoi hade örlig med HadadEser, och han hade med sig silfver, och gyldene, och koppartyg;
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
11 Hvilka Konung David ock helgade Herranom, samt med det silfver och guld, som han helgade af allom Hedningom, dem han under sig tvingade,
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
12 Af Syria, af Moab, af Ammons barn, af de Philisteer, af Amalek, af HadadEsers rof, Rehobs sons, Konungens i Zoba.
from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Och gjorde David sig ett namn, då han igenkom och slog de Syrer i saltdalenom, adertontusend.
And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Och han lade folk i hela Edomea; och hela Edom var David undergifven; ty Herren halp David, ehvart han drog.
He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
15 Alltså vardt David Konung öfver hela Israel; och han skaffade rätt och rättviso allo folkena.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
16 Joab, ZeruJa son, var öfver hären; men Josaphat, Ahiluds son, var canceller.
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
17 Zadok, Ahitobs son, och Ahimelech, AbJathars son, voro Prester; Seraja var skrifvare;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Benaja, Jojada son, var öfver Crethi och Plethi; och Davids söner voro Prester.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
