1 Da samledes hele Israel til David i Hebron og sagde: Se, vi ere dine Ben og dit Kød.
Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
2 Ogsaa tilforn, endog der Saul var Konge, har du ført Israel ud og ind; saa har og Herren din Gud sagt til dig: Du skal føde mit Folk Israel, og du skal være en Fyrste over mit Folk Israel.
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a ruler over my people Israel.'”
3 Og alle Israels Ældste kom til Kongen i Hebron, og David gjorde en Pagt med dem i Hebron for Herrens Ansigt, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel efter Herrens Ord ved Samuel.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel. In this way, the word of Yahweh that had been declared by Samuel came true.
4 Og David og hele Israel drog hen til Jerusalem, det er Jebus; og Jebusiterne vare der Landets Indbyggere.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). Now the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 Og Indbyggerne i Jebus sagde til David: Du skal ikke komme herind; men David indtog Zions Befæstning, det er Davids Stad.
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
6 Og David sagde: Hvo som helst der først slaar Jebusiterne, skal være en Øverste og Høvedsmand; saa steg Joab, Zerujas Søn, først op og blev Øverste.
David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become chief and commander.” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, so he was made the chief.
7 Og David boede i Befæstningen, derfor kaldte man den Davids Stad.
Then David began to live in the stronghold. So they called it the city of David.
8 Og han byggede Staden deromkring, fra Milla og rundt omkring; og Joab udbedrede det øvrige af Byen.
He built the city all around from the Millo and back to the surrounding wall. Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Og David gik stedse frem og blev stor, og den Herre Zebaoth var med ham.
David became greater and greater because Yahweh of hosts was with him.
10 Og disse ere de Øverste iblandt de vældige, som David havde, som holdt mandeligen med ham i hans Regering tillige med hele Israel, saa at de gjorde ham til Konge efter Herrens Ord over Israel.
These were the leaders David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, obeying the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11 Og dette er Tallet paa de vældige, som David havde: Jasobeam, Hakmonis Søn, en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, han svingede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne paa en Gang.
This is a list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, was commander of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear on one occasion.
12 Og efter ham var Eleasar, Dodos Søn, Ahohiten, han var iblandt de tre vældige.
After him was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 Han var med David i Pasdammin, der Filisterne vare samlede der til Striden, og der var et Stykke Ager fuldt med Byg, og Folket flyede for Filisternes Ansigt.
He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines assembled together for battle, where there was a barley field and the army fled from the Philistines.
14 Og de stillede sig midt paa det Stykke og reddede det og sloge Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.
They stood in the middle of the field. They defended it and cut down the Philistines and Yahweh rescued them with a great victory.
15 Og tre af de tredive ypperste droge ned til David ved Klippen til Hulen ved Adullam; men Filisternes Lejr havde lejret sig i Refaims Dal.
Then three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Og David var da i Befæstningen, og Filisternes Besætning var da i Bethlehem.
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established their camp at Bethlehem.
17 Og David fik Lyst og sagde: Hvo vil give mig Vand at drikke af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er ved Porten?
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”
18 Da brøde de tre ind i Filisternes Lejr og droge Vand af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som var ved Porten, og toge det op og bragte det til David; men David vilde ikke drikke det, men udøste det for Herren.
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
19 Og han sagde: Min Gud lade det være langt fra mig at gøre dette; skulde jeg drikke disse Mænds Blod, da de have sat deres Liv i Fare? thi med Livsfare have de bragt det hid; og han vilde ikke drikke det; dette gjorde de tre vældige.
Then he said, “May it be that I should never do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives?” Because they had put their lives at risk, David refused to drink it. These were the deeds of the three mighty men.
20 Og Abisaj, Joabs Broder, var den ypperste iblandt de tre, og han svingede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne; og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre.
Abishai brother of Joab was captain over the Three. He once used his spear against three hundred and killed them. He is mentioned along with the Three.
21 Af de tre var han herligere end de to, derfor blev han deres Høvedsmand; men han naaede ikke de første tre.
Of the Three, he was given double honor and became their captain, even though he was not one of them.
22 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, en stridbar Mands Søn, mægtig i Gerninger, fra Kabzeel, han slog to Løvehelte af Moabiterne, og han gik ned og slog en Løve midt i en Brønd en Dag, da der var Sne.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel, who did great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion on a day when the snow was falling.
23 Og han slog en ægyptisk Mand, en Mand, fem Alen høj, og Ægypteren havde et Spyd i Haanden som en Væverstang; men han gik ned imod ham med en Kæp, og han rev Spydet af Ægypterens Haand og slog ham ihjel med hans eget Spyd.
He even killed an Egyptian, a man five cubits tall. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
24 Dette gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside the three mighty men.
25 Se, han var mere æret end de tredive, dog naaede han ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.
He was more highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
