Anden Krønikebog 27
1 Jotam var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jerusja og var Datter af Zadok.
A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Uzzija havde gjort, men han gik ikke ind i HERRENS Helligdom. Men Folket gjorde fremdeles, hvad fordærveligt var.
And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people doing corruptly.
3 Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus, og desuden byggede han meget paa Ofels Mur.
He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;
4 Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Taarne i Skovene.
and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.
5 Han førte Krig med Ammoniternes Konge og overvandt dem, saa Ammoniterne det Aar maatte svare ham 100 Talenter Sølv, 10 000 Kor Hvede og 10 000 Kor Byg i Skat; og lige saa meget svarede Ammoniterne ham det andet og tredje Aar.
And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.
6 Saaledes blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for HERREN sin Guds Aasyn.
And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
7 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alle hans Krige og Foretagender, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
9 Saa lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Akaz blev Konge i hans Sted.
and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.
