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-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name 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.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.
3 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
4 Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses 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 people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.
6 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered 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, look, 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.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
