1 Krønikebok 14
1 Kongen i Tyrus Hiram skikket sendemenn til David med sedertre, og han sendte stenhuggere og tømmermenn til å bygge et hus for ham.
Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
2 Og David forstod at Herren hadde stadfestet hans kongedømme over Israel; for hans rike var blitt hevet høit for hans folk Israels skyld.
And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
3 David tok ennu flere hustruer i Jerusalem, og han fikk ennu flere sønner og døtre.
Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
4 Dette er navnene på de sønner han fikk i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Natan og Salomo
And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
5 og Jibhar og Elisua og Elpelet
Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 og Nogah og Nefeg og Jafia
as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 og Elisama og Be'eljada og Elifelet.
Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Da filistrene hørte at David var salvet til konge over hele Israel, drog alle filistrene ut for å søke efter David; og da David hørte det, drog han ut imot dem.
Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
9 Og filistrene kom og spredte sig utover i Refa'im-dalen.
Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
10 Da spurte David Gud: Skal jeg dra ut mot filistrene, og vil du gi dem i min hånd? Og Herren svarte: Dra ut! Så vil jeg gi dem i din hånd.
And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perasim, og der slo David dem, og David sa: Gud har brutt igjennem mine fiender ved min hånd, som vannene bryter igjennem. Derfor blev dette sted kalt Ba'al-Perasim.
And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
12 Der lot de efter sig sine guder, og David bød at de skulde brennes op med ild.
And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
13 Men filistrene kom igjen og spredte sig utover i dalen.
And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
14 Og David spurte atter Gud, og Gud sa til ham: Du skal ikke dra op efter dem; vend dig fra dem og ta en omvei, så du kommer over dem midt for bakatrærne,
And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
15 og når du hører lyden av skritt i bakatrærnes topper, da skal du dra ut i striden; for Gud har draget ut foran dig for å slå filistrenes hær.
And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
16 David gjorde som Gud hadde befalt ham, og de slo filistrenes hær og forfulgte dem fra Gibeon og like til Geser.
Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
17 og Davids navn kom ut i alle landene, og Herren lot frykt for ham komme over alle folkene.
And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
