2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
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 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also 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 also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
Og han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Veje; thi hans Moder var hans Raadgiver til at handle ugudeligt.
4 Why he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father 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 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
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 returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
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 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house 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 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
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 sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria, ) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still 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 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
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, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah, ) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
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 he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
Og han var skjult hos dem i Guds Hus seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
