2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

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.

2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

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.

3 He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.

4 In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.

5 He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

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.

6 So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Men det øvrige af Jothams Handeler og alle hans Krige og hans Veje, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.

9 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.
