2 Samuelsboken 8
Svenska 1917

8 En tid härefter slog David filistéerna och kuvade dem. Därvid bemäktigade sig David huvudstaden och tog den ur filistéernas hand.

2 Han slog ock moabiterna och mätte dem med snöre, i det att han lät dem lägga sig ned på jorden: med två snörlängder mätte han ut den del av dem, som skulle dödas, och med en full snörlängd den del som han låt leva. Så blevo moabiterna David underdåniga och förde till honom skänker.

3 Likaledes slog David Hadadeser, Rehobs son, konungen i Soba, när denne hade dragit åstad för att utsträcka sitt välde till floden.

4 Och David tog till fånga av han folk ett tusen sju hundra ryttare och tjugu tusen man fotfolk; och David lät avskära fotsenorna på alla vagnshästarna, utom på ett hundra hästar, som han skonade.

5 När sedan araméerna från Damaskus kommo för att hjälpa Hadadeser, konungen i Soba, nedgjorde David tjugutvå tusen man av dem.

6 Och David insatte fogdar bland araméerna i Damaskus, och araméerna blevo David underdåniga och förde till honom skänker. Så gav HERREN seger åt David, varhelst han drog fram.

7 Och David tog de gyllene sköldar som Hadadesers tjänare hade burit och förde dem till Jerusalem.

8 Och från Hadadesers städer Beta och Berotai tog konung David koppar i stor myckenhet.

9 Då nu Toi, konungen i Hamat, hörde att David hade slagit Hadadesers hela här,

10 sände han sin son Joram till konung David för att hälsa honom och lyckönska honom, därför att han hade givit sig i strid med Hadadeser och slagit honom; ty Hadadeser hade varit Tois fiende. Och han hade med sig kärl av silver, av guld och av koppar.

11 Också dessa helgade konung David åt HERREN, likasom han hade gjort med det silver och guld han hade tagit från alla de folk som han hade underlagt sig:

12 från araméerna, moabiterna, Ammons barn, filistéerna och amalekiterna, så ock med det byte han hade tagit från Hadadeser, Rehobs son, konungen i Soba.

13 Och när David kom tillbaka från sin seger över araméerna, gjorde han sig ytterligare ett namn i Saltdalen, där han slog aderton tusen man.

14 Och han insatte fogdar i Edom, i hela Edom insatte han fogdar; och alla edoméer blevo David underdåniga. Så gav HERREN seger åt David, varhelst han drog fram.

15 David regerade nu över hela Israel; och David skipade lag och rätt åt allt sitt folk.

16 Joab, Serujas son, hade befälet över krigshären, och Josafat Ahiluds son, var kansler.

17 Sadok, Ahitubs son, och Ahimelek, Ebjatars son, voro präster, och Seraja var sekreterare.

18 Benaja, Jojadas son, hade befälet över keretéerna och peletéerna; dessutom voro Davids söner präster.

8 After this, David defeated the Philistines,(A) subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah[a] from Philistine control.[b](B) 2 He also defeated the Moabites, and after making them lie down on the ground, he measured them off with a cord. He measured every two cord lengths of those to be put to death and one full length of those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s subjects and brought tribute.(C)

3 David also defeated Hadadezer(D) son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control at the River Euphrates. 4 David captured one thousand seven hundred horsemen[c] and twenty thousand foot soldiers from him, and he hamstrung all the horses(E) and kept a hundred chariots.[d]

5 When the Arameans of Damascus(F) came to assist King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand Aramean men. 6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and brought tribute. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.(G)

7 David took the gold shields of Hadadezer’s officers and brought them to Jerusalem.(H) 8 King David also took huge quantities of bronze from Betah[e] and Berothai, Hadadezer’s cities.

9 When King Toi of Hamath(I) heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer, 10 he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, for Toi and Hadadezer had fought many wars. Joram had items of silver, gold, and bronze with him. 11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued(J) –  12 from Edom,[f] Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Amalekites, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 David made a reputation(K) for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites[g] in Salt Valley.[h](L) 14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David.(M) The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.(N)

15 So David reigned over all Israel, administering justice and righteousness for all his people.(O)

16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army;

Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was court historian;

17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests;

Seraiah was court secretary;

18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;(P)

and David’s sons were chief officials.[i]

David’s Further Conquests(A)

8 After this it came to pass that David [a]attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took [b]Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

2 Then (B)he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David’s (C)servants, and (D)brought tribute.

3 David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of (E)Zobah, as he went to recover (F)his territory at the River Euphrates. 4 David took from him one thousand chariots, [c]seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David (G)hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

5 (H)When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians. 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. So (I)the Lord preserved David wherever he went. 7 And David took (J)the shields of gold that had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8 Also from [d]Betah and from (K)Berothai,[e] cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.

9 When [f]Toi king of (L)Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer, 10 then Toi sent [g]Joram his son to King David, to [h]greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi); and Joram brought with him articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze. 11 King David also (M)dedicated these to the Lord, along with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had subdued— 12 from [i]Syria, from Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the (N)Philistines, from Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 And David made himself a (O)name when he returned from killing (P)eighteen thousand [j]Syrians in (Q)the Valley of Salt. 14 He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and (R)all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

David’s Administration(S)

15 So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people. 16 (T)Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; (U)Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 17 (V)Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; [k]Seraiah was the [l]scribe; 18 (W)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the (X)Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were [m]chief ministers.
