Anden Krønikebog 12
1 Og det skete, der Roboams Rige var befæstet, og der han var bleven mægtig, da forlod han og hele Israel med ham Herrens Lov.
And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
2 Og det skete i Kong Roboams femte Aar, da drog Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, op imod Jerusalem (thi de havde forsyndet sig imod Herren)
And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
3 med tusinde og to Hundrede Vogne og med tresindstyve Tusinde Ryttere, og der var ikke Tal paa det Folk, som kom med ham af Ægypten: Libyer, Sukiter og Morianer.
With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites.
4 Og han indtog de faste Stæder, som hørte til Juda, og kom til Jerusalem.
And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Da kom Semaja, Profeten, til Roboam og til de Øverste i Juda, som havde samlet sig til Jerusalem for Sisaks Skyld, og sagde til dem: Saa sagde Herren: I have forladt mig, og jeg har derfor overladt eder i Sisaks Haand.
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Da ydmygede de Øverste udi Israel sig tillige med Kongen, og de sagde: Herren er retfærdig.
Upon which the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
7 Og der Herren saa, at de ydmygede sig, da skete Herrens Ord til Semaja og sagde: De have ydmyget sig, jeg vil ikke ødelægge dem; men om en kort Tid vil jeg lade dem undkomme, og min Fortørnelse skal ikke udøses over Jerusalem ved Sisak.
And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Dog skulle de vorde hans Tjenere, at de kunne fornemme, hvad det er at tjene mig og at tjene Landenes Riger.
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 Saa drog Sisak, Kongen af Ægypten, op imod Jerusalem, og han tog Liggendefæet i Herrens Hus og Liggendefæet i Kongens Hus, han tog alting bort; og han tog de Skjolde af Guld, som Salomo havde ladet gøre.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 Og Kong Roboam lod gøre Kobberskjolde i deres Sted og betroede dem i de øverste Drabanters Haand, som toge Vare paa Døren for Kongens Hus.
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
11 Og det skete, saa tidt Kongen gik ind i Herrens Hus, da kom Drabanterne og bare dem ud, og de bare dem tilbage i Drabanternes Kammer.
And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
12 Og da han ydmygede sig, blev Herrens Vrede vendt af fra ham, thi han vilde ikke ødelægge ham aldeles; thi der var ogsaa nogle gode Ting i Juda.
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
13 Og Kong Roboam befæstede sig i Jerusalem og regerede; thi Roboam var et og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede sytten Aar i Jerusalem, i den Stad, som Herren af alle Israels Stammer havde udvalgt for der at sætte sit Navn; og hans Moders Navn var Naema, den ammonitiske.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt; thi han beredte ikke sit Hjerte til at søge Herren.
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Men Roboams Handeler, de første og de sidste, ere de ikke skrevne i Profeten Semajas Krønikers Bog og hos Seeren Iddo, hvor han opregner Slægtregistrene? og der var Krige imellem Roboam og Jeroboam alle Dage.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Og Roboam laa med sine Fædre, og blev begraven i Davids Stad; og Abia, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
