Første Krønikebog 14
1 Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte Sendebud til David med Cedertræer og tillige Murere og Tømmermænd for at bygge ham et Hus.
And Churam the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and trees of cedars, and masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
And David felt conscious that the Lord had established him as king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
And David took yet more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Navnene på de Børn, han fik i Jerusalem, er følgende: Sjammua, Sjobab, Natan, Salomo,
And these are the names of the children that he had in Jerusalem: Shammua', and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jaf1a,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
7 Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
And Elishama', and Be'elyada', and Eliphalet.
8 Men da Fiilisterne hørte, at David var salvet til Konge over hele Israel, rykkede de alle ud for at søge efter ham. Ved Efterretningen herom drog David ud for at møde dem,
But when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David rådspurgte da Gud: "Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Hånd?" Og HERREN svarede ham: "Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Hånd!"
And David asked counsel of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: "Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Hånd, som Vand bryder igennem!" Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
And they came up to Ba'al-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken down my enemies through my hand as a breach [is made] by water: therefore they called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And they left behind there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burnt with fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
And the Philistines [came] once again, and spread themselves out in the valley.
14 Da David atter rådspurgte Gud, svarede han: "Drag ikke efter dem, men omgå dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
And David asked again counsel of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn about from them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees,
15 Når du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi så er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slå Filisternes Hær."
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will be gone forth before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
And David did as God had commanded him; and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gib'on as far as Gezer.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN Iod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord laid the dread of him upon all the nations.
