2 Chronicles 27
1 Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [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 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: yet, he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet 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 high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus, og desuden byggede han meget paa Ofels Mur.
4 Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Taarne i Skovene.
5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and 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 prepared his ways before the LORD 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, see, 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 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Saa lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Akaz blev Konge i hans Sted.
