Anden Krønikebog 22
1 Og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem gjorde Ahasia, hans yngste Søn, til Konge i hans Sted; thi den Trop, som kom med Araberne til Lejren, havde ihjelslaaet alle de første; og Ahasia, Jorams Søn, regerede søm Konge i Juda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came in the camp with the Arabians had slain all the elder ones. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Ahasia var to og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede et Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Athalia, Omris (Søns) Datter.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, daughter of Omri.
3 Og han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Veje; thi hans Moder var hans Raadgiver til at handle ugudeligt.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
4 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne ligesom Akabs Hus; thi de vare hans Raadgivere efter hans Faders Død til Fordærvelse for ham.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah like the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Han vandrede ogsaa efter deres Raad og drog med Joram, Israels Konge, Akabs Søn, i Krig imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, imod Ramoth i Gilead; men Syrerne sloge Joram.
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Og han vendte tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som de havde slaget ham ved Rama, der han stred med Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Asaria, Jorams Søn, Judas Konge, drog ned at besøge Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jisreel, thi han laa syg.
And he returned to be healed in Jizreel because of the wounds that were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jizreel; for he was sick.
7 Og af Gud var Ahasias Undergang, saa at han kom til Joram; thi der han kom, da drog han ud med Joram imod Jehu, Nimsis Søn, som Herren havde salvet til at udrydde Akabs Hus.
But his coming to Joram was from God the complete ruin of Ahaziah. And when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 Og det skete, da Dommen udførtes af Jehu imod Akabs Hus, da traf han de Øverste af Juda og Ahasias Brodersønner, som tjente Ahasia, og slog dem ihjel.
And it came to pass when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that attended upon Ahaziah, and he slew them.
9 Siden ledte han efter Ahasia, og de grebe ham, da han havde skjult sig i Samaria, og de førte ham til Jehu og dræbte ham og begrove ham; thi de sagde: Han er en Søn af Josafat, som søgte Herren af sit ganske Hjerte; og der var ingen af Ahasias Hus, som formaaede at overtage Riget.
And he sought Ahaziah; and they caught him (for he had hid himself in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And in the house of Ahaziah there was no one who was able to [hold] the kingdom.
10 Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede hele den kongelige Slægt i Judas Hus.
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
11 Men Josabeath, Kongens Datter, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud fra Kongens Sønner, som bleve dræbte, og satte ham med sin Amme i Sengekammeret; og Josabeath, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, skjulte ham (thi hun var Ahasias Søster) for Athalias Ansigt, saa at hun ikke fik ham dræbt.
But Jehoshabeath the daughter of the king took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not slay him;
12 Og han var skjult hos dem i Guds Hus seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
and he was with them hid in the house of God six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
