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.
Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, 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 what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
3 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort 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 mountain 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.
And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
6 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed 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.
And 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.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign 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 Achaz his son became king in his stead.
