2 Chronik 27
1 Jotham war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa, eine Tochter Zadoks.
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.
2 Und tat, das dem HERRN wohlgefiel, wie sein Vater Usia getan hatte, ohne daß er nicht in den Tempel des HERRN ging, und das Volk sich noch verderbete.
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.
3 Er bauete das hohe Tor am Hause des HERRN, und an der Mauer Ophel bauete er viel.
He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.
4 Und bauete die Städte auf dem Gebirge Juda, und in den Wäldern bauete er Schlösser und Türme.
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 Und er stritt mit dem Könige der Kinder Ammon, und er ward ihrer mächtig, daß ihm die Kinder Ammon dasselbe Jahr gaben hundert Zentner Silbers, zehntausend Kor Weizen und zehntausend Gerste. So viel gaben ihm die Kinder Ammon auch im andern und im dritten Jahrs
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.
6 Also ward Jotham mächtig; denn er richtete seine Wege vor dem HERRN, seinem Gott.
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Was aber mehr von Jotham zu sagen ist, und alle seine Streite und seine Wege, siehe, das ist geschrieben im Buch der Könige Israels und Judas.
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.
8 Fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt war er, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Und Jotham entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn in der Stadt Davids. Und sein Sohn Ahas ward König an seiner Statt.
Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
