2 Samuel 3
1 There was then long warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid: but Dauid waxed stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker.
Krigen imellem Sauls og Davids Huse trak i Langdrag; men David blev stærkere og stærkere, Sauls Hus svagere og svagere.
2 And vnto Dauid were children borne in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Amnon of Ahinoam the Izreelite,
I Hebron fødtes der David Sønner; hans førstefødte var Amnon, Søn af Ahinoam fra Jizre'el,
3 And his seconde, was Chileab of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom the sonne of Maacah the daughter of Talmai the King of Geshur,
den næstældste Kil'ab, Søn af Abigajil, Karmeliten Nabals Hustru, den tredje Absalom, en Søn af Kong Talmaj af Gesjurs Datter Ma'aka,
4 And the fourth, Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the sonne of Abital,
den fjerde Adonija, en Søn af Haggit, den femte Sjefatja, en Søn af Abital,
5 And the sixt, Ithream by Eglah Dauids wife: these were borne to Dauid in Hebron.
og den sjette Jitream, Søn af Davids Hustru Egla. Disse fødtes David i Hebron.
6 Nowe while there was warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid, Abner made all his power for the house of Saul.
Under Krigen mellem Sauls og Davids Huse ydede Abner Sauls Hus kraftig Støtte.
7 And Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiiah. And Ish-bosheth sayde to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in to my fathers concubine?
Nu havde Saul haft en Medhustru ved Navn Rizpa, Ajjas Datter. Og Isjbosjet sagde til Abner: »Hvorfor gik du ind til min Faders Medhustru?«
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dogges head, which against Iudah do shew mercie this day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his neighbours, and haue not deliuered thee into the hande of Dauid, that thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman?
Abner blev opbragt over Isjbosjets Ord og sagde: »Er jeg nu blevet et Hundehoved fra Juda? Nu har jeg Gang paa Gang vist Godhed mod din Fader Sauls Hus, hans Brødre og Venner og ikke ladet dig falde i Davids Haand, og saa gaar du nu i Rette med mig for en Kvindes Skyld!
9 So doe God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworne to Dauid, euen so I doe to him,
Gud ramme Abner baade med det ene og det andet: Hvad HERREN tilsvor David, skal jeg nu sørge for bliver opfyldt paa ham;
10 To remoue the kingdome from the house of Saul, that the throne of Dauid may be stablished ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah, euen from Dan to Beer-sheba.
jeg skal sørge for, at Sauls Hus mister Kongedømmet og Davids Trone bliver rejst over Israel og Juda fra Dan til Be'ersjeba!«
11 And he durst no more answere to Abner: for he feared him.
Og af Frygt for Abner kunde Isjbosjet ikke svare et Ord.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to Dauid on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the lande? who should also say, Make couenant with me, and beholde, mine hande shalbe with thee, to bring all Israel vnto thee.
Saa sendte Abner Sendebud til David i Hebron og lod sige: »Slut Pagt med mig! Se, jeg vil hjælpe dig og bringe hele Israel over paa din Side!«
13 Who saide, Well, I will make a couenant with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, that thou see not my face except thou bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou commest to see me.
Han svarede: »Vel, jeg vil slutte Pagt med dig; men een Ting kræver jeg af dig: Du bliver ikke stedet for mit Aasyn, med mindre du har Sauls Datter Mikal med, naar du kommer!«
14 Then Dauid sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliuer me my wife Michal, which I marryed for an hundreth foreskinnes of the Philistims.
David sendte derpaa Bud til Isjbosjet, Sauls Søn, og lod sige: »Giv mig min Hustru Mikal, som jeg blev trolovet med for 100 Filisterforhuder!«
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and tooke her from her husband Phaltiel the sonne of Laish.
Da sendte Isjbosjet Bud og lod hende hente hos hendes Mand Paltiel, Lajisj's Søn.
16 And her husband went with her, and came weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurim: then saide Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So he returned.
Hendes Mand fulgte hende grædende lige til Bahurim; her sagde Abner til ham: »Gaa nu hjem!« Saa vendte han hjem.
17 And Abner had communication with the Elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for Dauid in times past, that he might be your King.
Men Abner havde forhandlet med Israels Ældste og sagt: »Allerede tidligere ønskede I David til Konge;
18 Nowe then doe it: for the Lord hath spoken of Dauid, saying, By the hand of my seruant Dauid I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistims, and out of the handes of all their enemies.
saa gør nu Alvor af det! Thi HERREN har sagt om David: Ved min Tjener Davids Haand vil jeg frelse mit Folk Israel fra Filisternes og alle dets Fjenders Haand!«
19 Also Abner spake to Beniamin, and afterward Abner went to speake with Dauid in Hebron, concerning all that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Beniamin.
Abner talte ogsaa til Benjamin derom. Endelig gik Abner ogsaa til Hebron for at meddele David alt, hvad Israel og hele Benjamins Hus havde vedtaget.
20 So Abner came to Dauid to Hebron, hauing twentie men with him, and Dauid made a feast vnto Abner, and to the men that were with him.
Da Abner, fulgt af tyve Mænd, kom til David i Hebron, gjorde David Gæstebud for Abner og Mændene, som var med ham.
21 Then Abner sayde vnto Dauid, I will rise vp, and goe gather all Israel vnto my lorde the King, that they may make a couenant with thee, and that thou mayest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then Dauid let Abner depart, who went in peace.
Derpaa sagde Abner til David: »Lad mig bryde op og drage hen og samle hele Israel om min Herre Kongen, for at de kan slutte Pagt med dig, at du kan blive Konge over alt, hvad din Hu staar til!« Da lod David Abner rejse, og han drog bort i Fred.
22 And beholde, the seruants of Dauid and Ioab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with them (but Abner was not with Dauid in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace)
Just da kom Davids Folk og Joab hjem fra et Strejftog og medførte et rigt Bytte; Abner var da ikke mere hos David i Hebron, thi David havde ladet ham rejse, og han var draget bort i Fred.
23 When Ioab, and all the hoste that was with him were come, men tolde Ioab, saying, Abner the sonne of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
Da nu Joab var vendt hjem med hele sin Hær, fik han at vide at Abner, Ners Søn, havde været hos Kongen, og at denne havde ladet ham rejse, saa han var draget bort i Fred.
24 Then Ioab came to the King, and saide, What hast thou done? beholde, Abner came vnto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed?
Da gik Joab til Kongen og sagde: »Hvad har du gjort? Abner har jo været hos dig! Hvorfor lod du ham rejse, saa han frit kunde drage bort?
25 Thou knowest Abner the sonne of Ner: for he came to deceiue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to knowe all that thou doest.
Indser du ikke, at Abner, Ners Søn, kun kom for at bedrage dig, udspejde din Færd og faa at vide, hvad du har for!«
26 And when Ioab was gone out from Dauid, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him againe from the well of Siriah vnknowing to Dauid.
Saa gik Joab bort fra David og sendte uden Davids Vidende Sendebud efter Abner og de hentede ham tilbage fra Bor-Sira.
27 And when Abner was come againe to Hebron, Ioab tooke him aside in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and smote him vnder the fift ryb, that he dyed, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Og da Abner kom tilbage til Hebron, tog Joab ham til Side midt i Porten for at tale uhindret med ham; og der dræbte han ham ved et Stik i Underlivet for at hævne sin Broder Asa'els Blod.
28 And when afterwarde it came to Dauids eare, he saide, I and my kingdome are giltlesse before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the sonne of Ner.
Da det siden kom David for Øre, sagde han: »Jeg og mit Rige er til evig Tid uden Skyld for HERREN i Abners, Ners Søns, Blod!
29 Let the blood fall on the head of Ioab, and on all his fathers house, that the house of Ioab be neuer without some that haue running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staffe, or that doeth fall on the sworde, or that lacketh bread.
Det komme over Joabs Hoved og over hele hans Fædrenehus; og Joabs Hus være aldrig frit for Folk, som lider af Flaad eller Spedalsk hed, gaar med Krykke eller falder for Sværdet eller mangler Brød!«
30 (So Ioab and Abishai his brother slewe Abner, because he had slaine their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battel)
Men Joab og hans Broder Abisjaj havde slaaet Abner ihjel, fordi han havde fældet deres Broder Asa'el i Kampen ved Gibeon.
31 And Dauid said to Ioab, and to al the people that were with him, Rent your clothes, and put on sackecloth, and mourne before Abner: and King Dauid him selfe followed the beare.
Derpaa sagde David til Joab og alle Folkene, som fulgte ham: »Sønderriv eders Klæder, tag Sæk om eder og hold Klage over Abner!« Og Kong David gik selv bag efter Baaren.
32 And when they had buryed Abner in Hebron, the King lift vp his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and all the people wept.
Og da man jordede Abner i Hebron, græd Kongen højt ved Abners Grav, og alt Folket græd med,
33 And the King lamented ouer Abner, and sayde, Dyed Abner as a foole dyeth?
Da sang Kongen denne Klagesang over Abner: Skulde Abner dø en Daares Død?
34 Thine handes were not bounde, nor thy feete tyed in fetters of brasse: but as a man falleth before wicked men, so diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.
Dine Hænder var ikke bundne, dine Fødder ikke lagt i Lænker, du faldt, som man falder for Misdædere! Da græd hele Folket end mere over ham,
35 Afterwarde all the people came to cause Dauid eate meate while it was yet day, but Dauid sware, saying, So doe God to me and more also, if I taste bread, or ought els till the sunne be downe.
og da hele Folket kom for at faa David til at spise, medens det endnu var Dag, svor David: »Gud ramme mig baade med det ene og det andet, om jeg smager Brød eller noget andet, før Sol gaar ned!«
36 And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatsoeuer the King did, pleased all the people.
Hele Folket lagde Mærke dertil, og det gjorde et godt Indtryk paa dem; alt, hvad Kongen foretog sig, gjorde et godt Indtryk paa alt Folket;
37 For all the people and all Israel vnderstoode that day, howe that it was not the Kings deede that Abner the sonne of Ner was slaine.
og hele Folket og hele Israel skønnede den Dag, at Kongen ikke var Ophavsmand til Drabet paa Abner, Ners Søn.
38 And the King said vnto his seruants, Know ye not, that there is a prince and a great man falle this day in Israel?
Og Kongen sagde til sine Folk: »Ved I ikke, af der i Dag er faldet en Øverste og Stormand i Israel?
39 And I am this day weake and newly anoynted King: and these men the sonnes of Zeruiah be too harde for me: the Lord rewarde the doer of euill according to his wickednesse.
Men jeg er endnu for svag, skønt jeg er salvet til Konge, og disse Mænd, Zerujasønnerne, er mig for stærke. HERREN gengælde Udaadsmanden hans Skændselsdaad!«
