I Chronicles 11

Derpå samlede hele Israel sig hos David i Hebron og sagde: "Vi er jo dit Kød og Blod!"

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

Allerede før i Tiden, medens Saul var Konge, var det dig, som førte Israel ud i Kamp og hjem igen; og HERREN din Gud sagde til dig: Du skal vogte mit Folk Israel og være Hersker over mit Folk Israel!"

And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

Og alle Israels Ældste kom til Kongen i Hebron, og David sluttede i Hebron Pagt med dem for HERRRNs Åsyn, og de salvede David til Konge over Israel efter HERRENs Ord ved Samuel.

Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

Derpå drog David med hele Israel til Jerusalem, det er Jebus; der boede Jebusiterne, Landets oprindelige Indbyggere;

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

og Indbyggerne i Jebus sagde til David: "Her kan du ikke trænge ind!" Men David indtog Klippeborgen Zion, det er Davidsbyen.

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

Og David sagde: "Den, der først slår en Jebusit, skal være Øverste og Hærfører!" Og da Joab, Zentjas Søn, var den første, der steg derop, blev han Øverste.

And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

Så tog David Bolig i Klippeborgen, hvorfor man kaldte den Davidsbyen;

And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

og han befæstede Byen hele Vejen rundt fra Millo af; Resten af Byen genopførte Joab.

And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

Og David blev mægtigere og mægtigere; Hærskarers HERRE var med ham.

So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

Følgende var de ypperste at Davids Helte, som sammen med hele Israel kraftig stod ham bi med at nå Kongedømmet, så de fik ham valgt til Konge efter HERRENs Ord til Israel.

These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

Navnene på Davids Helte var følgende: Isjba'al, Hakmonis Søn, Anføreren for de tre; det var ham, som engang svang sit Spyd over 300 faldne på een Gang.

And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.

Blandt de tre Helte kom efter ham Ahohiten El'azar, Dodos Søn;

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

han var med David ved PasDammim, dengang Filisterne samlede sig der til Kamp. Marken var fuld af Byg, og Folkene flygtedefor Filisterne;

He was with David at Pas–dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

men han stillede sig op midt på Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og HERREN gav dem en stor Sejr.

And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

Engang drog tre af de tredive ned til David på Klippen, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisternes Hær var lejret i Refaimdalen.

Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

David var dengang i Hlippeborgen, medens Filisternes Foged var i Betlehem.

And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Beth–lehem.

Så vågnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: "Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?"

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth–lehem, that is at the gate!

Da banede de tre Helte sig Vej gennem Filisternes Lejr, øste Vand af Cisternen ved Betlehems Port og bragte David det. Han vilde dog ikke drikke det, men udgød det for HERREN

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth–lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

med de Ord: "Gud vogte mig for at gøre det! Skulde jeg drikke de Mænds blod, som har vovet deres Liv? Thi med Fare for deres Liv har de hentet det!" Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Den Dåd udførte de tre Helte.

And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

Abisjaj, Joabs Broder, var Anfører for de tredive. Han svang sit Spyd over de faldne, og han var navnkundig blandt de tredive;

And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.

iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre nåede han ikke.

Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en tapper Mand fra Kabze'el, der havde udført store Heltegeminger; han fældede de to Arielsønner fra Moab; og han steg ned og fældede en Løve i en Cisterne, en Dag den var faldet Sne.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

Ligeledes fældede han Ægypteren, en kæmpestor Mand, fem Alen høj. Ægypteren havde et Spyd som en Væverbom i Hånden, men han gik ned imod ham med en Stok, vristede Spydet ud af Hånden på ham og dræbte ham med hans eget Spyd.

And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte;

These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.

iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre nåede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.

Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
