2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
Jotam var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jerusja og var Datter af Zadok.
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into Jehovah's temple. The people still did corruptly.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Uzzija havde gjort, men han gik ikke ind i HERRENS Helligdom. Men Folket gjorde fremdeles, hvad fordærveligt var.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus, og desuden byggede han meget paa Ofels Mur.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Taarne i Skovene.
5 He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.
Han førte Krig med Ammoniternes Konge og overvandt dem, saa Ammoniterne det Aar maatte svare ham 100 Talenter Sølv, 10 000 Kor Hvede og 10 000 Kor Byg i Skat; og lige saa meget svarede Ammoniterne ham det andet og tredje Aar.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.
Saaledes blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for HERREN sin Guds Aasyn.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alle hans Krige og Foretagender, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Saa lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Akaz blev Konge i hans Sted.
