David befæster sin position som konge

1 Kong Hiram af Tyrus sendte kong David en masse cedertræ som venskabsgave. Samtidig sendte han stenhuggere og tømrere, der skulle hjælpe med at bygge et flot palads til ham. 2 Da forstod David, at Herren havde valgt ham til konge og styrket hans kongemagt for sit udvalgte folks skyld. 3 Efter at David var flyttet til Jerusalem, tog han flere koner, og han fik mange sønner og døtre. 4 Her følger navnene på de sønner, der blev født i Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Natan, Salomon, 5 Jibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafia, 7 Elishama, Be’eljada og Elifelet.

David besejrer filistrene

8 Da filistrene hørte, at David var blevet kronet til konge over Israel, mobiliserede de deres styrker og tog af sted for at tage ham til fange. Men David fik meddelelse om det og samlede sin egen hær imod dem. 9 Filistrenes hær kom og invaderede Refaimdalen. 10 Da spurgte David Gud til råds: „Skal jeg gå ud og kæmpe imod dem? Vil du give mig sejr over dem?” Herren svarede: „Ja, jeg vil udlevere dem til dig.” 11 Derefter rykkede David ud og besejrede dem. „Det var Gud, der gjorde det!” erklærede han. „Gud brød gennem fjendens slagrækker som en flodbølge!” Derfor kaldte han stedet for Ba’al-Peratzim.* 12 De flygtende filistre havde efterladt deres afgudsbilleder på slagmarken, og David gav ordre til, at de skulle brændes. 13 Men filistrene kom tilbage og invaderede endnu engang dalen. 14 David rådførte sig igen med Gud, og svaret lød: „Undgå et frontalt angreb! Gå bag om fjenden og slå til ved baka-træerne.* 15 Så snart du hører lyden af taktfaste skridt i toppen af træerne, skal du gå til angreb, for det betyder, at Gud selv er gået i forvejen for at tilintetgøre fjendens hær.” 16 David gjorde, som Gud havde sagt, og hans hær huggede filistrene ned fra Gibeon og helt til Gezer. 17 Davids ry spredtes nu vidt omkring. Herren sørgede for, at alle de omkringboende folkeslag fik stor respekt for kong David.

David’s Wives and Children

1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him. 2 And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel. 3 And David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David fathered more sons and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada and Eliphelet.

Philistines Defeated

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went out against them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim. 10 And David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.” 11 And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, “God has broken through* my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim. 12 And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned. 13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. 14 And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; go around and come against them opposite the balsam trees. 15 And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 16 And David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. 17 And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
