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.
Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, 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 he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: nevertheless he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
3 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
6 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his position.
