2 Chronicles 22
1 And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.
Og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem gjorde Ahasia, hans yngste Søn, til Konge i hans Sted; thi den Trop, som kom med Araberne til Lejren, havde ihjelslaaet alle de første; og Ahasia, Jorams Søn, regerede søm Konge i Juda.
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
Ahasia var to og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede et Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Athalia, Omris (Søns) Datter.
3 He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.
Og han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Veje; thi hans Moder var hans Raadgiver til at handle ugudeligt.
4 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.
Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne ligesom Akabs Hus; thi de vare hans Raadgivere efter hans Faders Død til Fordærvelse for ham.
5 Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.
Han vandrede ogsaa efter deres Raad og drog med Joram, Israels Konge, Akabs Søn, i Krig imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, imod Ramoth i Gilead; men Syrerne sloge Joram.
6 And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.
Og han vendte tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som de havde slaget ham ved Rama, der han stred med Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Asaria, Jorams Søn, Judas Konge, drog ned at besøge Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jisreel, thi han laa syg.
7 Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.
Og af Gud var Ahasias Undergang, saa at han kom til Joram; thi der han kom, da drog han ud med Joram imod Jehu, Nimsis Søn, som Herren havde salvet til at udrydde Akabs Hus.
8 Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.
Og det skete, da Dommen udførtes af Jehu imod Akabs Hus, da traf han de Øverste af Juda og Ahasias Brodersønner, som tjente Ahasia, og slog dem ihjel.
9 And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria, ) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.
Siden ledte han efter Ahasia, og de grebe ham, da han havde skjult sig i Samaria, og de førte ham til Jehu og dræbte ham og begrove ham; thi de sagde: Han er en Søn af Josafat, som søgte Herren af sit ganske Hjerte; og der var ingen af Ahasias Hus, som formaaede at overtage Riget.
10 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.
Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede hele den kongelige Slægt i Judas Hus.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
Men Josabeath, Kongens Datter, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud fra Kongens Sønner, som bleve dræbte, og satte ham med sin Amme i Sengekammeret; og Josabeath, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, skjulte ham (thi hun var Ahasias Søster) for Athalias Ansigt, saa at hun ikke fik ham dræbt.
12 And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.
Og han var skjult hos dem i Guds Hus seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
