Chronicles II 27
1 Joatham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
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 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.
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 built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.
5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
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 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Men det øvrige af Jothams Handeler og alle hans Krige og hans Veje, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.
Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.
