1 Krønikebok 18
1 Ei tid etter dette vann David yverpå filistarane og lagde deim under seg, og han tok då Gat og dei bygderne som låg ikring or henderne på filistarane.
And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.
2 Han vann og yver moabitar, og so vart dei tenarar åt David og lagde skatt til honom.
And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
3 Like eins vann David på Hadarezer, kongen i Soba, ved Hamat, då han hadde fare av stad og skulde tryggja magti si ved elvi Frat.
Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
4 Og David tok ifrå honom eit tusund vognhestar og sju tusund hestfolk og tjuge tusund mann fotfolk. Og David let skjera av hasarne på alle vognhestarne og sparde berre eit hundrad hestar.
And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
5 Og då syrarane frå Damaskus kom og skulde hjelpa Hadarezer, kongen i Soba, slo David tvo og tjuge tusund mann av syrarane.
And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.
6 Og David sette inn hervakter millom syrarane i Damaskus, og syrarane vart tenarar åt David og lagde skatt til honom. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han drog fram.
Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
7 Og David tok dei gullskjoldarne som tenarane hans Hadarezer hadde bore, og førde deim til Jerusalem.
And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.
8 Og frå Tibhat og Kun, byarne hans Hadarezer, tok David kopar i stor mengd; av det gjorde Salomo koparhavet, sulorne og koparkjeraldi.
And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.
9 Då so To’u, kongen i Hamat, høyrde at David hadde slege heile heren hans Hadarezer, kongen i Soba,
Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 sende han son sin, Hadoram, til kong David, at han skulde helsa på honom og ynskja honom til lukke med krigen mot Hadarezer og med sigeren yver kongen; for Hadarezer hadde jamt havt ufred med To’u. Han sende og alle slag kjerald av gull, sylv og kopar.
He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 Deim og vigde kong David til Herren, sameleis som det med det sylvet og gullet han hadde ført heim frå alle andre folk: frå edomitarne, moabiterne, Ammons-sønerne, filistarane og amalekitarne.
These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
12 Og Absai Serujason som slo edomitarne i Saltdalen, attan tusund mann.
And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,
13 So sette han vakt i Edom, og alle edomitarne vart tenarar åt David. Soleis gav Herren David siger kvar helst han for fram.
David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
14 David var no konge yver heile Israel, og han skipa lov og rett åt heile sitt folk.
So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
15 Joab Serujason var øvste herhovding, og Josafat Ahiludsson var kanslar.
And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
16 Sadok Ahitubsson og Abimelek Abjatarsson var prestar og Savsa riksskrivar,
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
17 Benaja Jojadason var hovding yver livvakti, men Davids søner var dei fyrste ved sida åt kongen.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
