Anden Krønikebog 27

1 Jotham var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Jerusa, Zadoks Datter.

Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Ussia, hans Fader, havde gjort, kun kom han ikke i Herrens Tempel; og Folket handlede endnu fordærveligt.

And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

3 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.

He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.

4 Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.

Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

5 Han stred og imod Ammons Børns Konge og fik Overhaand over dem, og Ammons Børn gave ham det samme Aar hundrede Centner Sølv og ti Tusinde Kor Hvede og ti Tusinde Kor Byg; dette gav Ammons Børn ham atter baade i det andet og i det tredje Aar.

And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

6 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.

So Iotham became mightie because hee directed his way before the Lord his God.

7 Men det øvrige af Jothams Handeler og alle hans Krige og hans Veje, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.

8 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.

9 Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
