< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah 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 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.
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 buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.
Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
4 Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.
Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.
5 And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere 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 Iotham became mightie because hee directed his way before the Lord his God.
Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
7 Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.
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 fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.
Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
9 And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne 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.
