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 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him an house.
2 Da skønnede David, at HERREN havde sikret hans Kongemagt over Israel og højnet hans Kongedømme for sit Folk Israels Skyld.
And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.
3 David tog i Jerusalem endnu flere Hustruer og avlede flere Sønner og Døtre.
And David took 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 which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;
5 Jibhar, Elisjua, Elpelet,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet;
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jaf1a,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
7 Elisjama, Be'eljada og Elifelet.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
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,
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid 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 inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine 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.
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by mine hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig på ny i Dalen.
And the Philistines yet again made a raid 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 inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against 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 marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone out before thee to smite the host 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 commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to 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 unto all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
