亚哈谢作犹大王(A)

22 耶路撒冷的居民立了约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他作王;因为那些和阿拉伯人同来攻营的匪徒,把亚哈谢的哥哥全都杀了。这样,犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢就作了王。 亚哈谢登基的时候是二十二岁(“二十二岁”原文作“四十二岁”;现参照古译本和王下8:26修译);他在耶路撒冷作王一年。他的母亲名叫亚他利雅,是暗利的孙女。 亚哈谢也随从亚哈家的道路,因为他母亲教唆他行恶。 他行耶和华看为恶的事,好象亚哈家一样,因为他的父亲死了以后,亚哈家的人就教唆他,好使他灭亡。 他随从了他们的计谋,和以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰一同到基列的拉末去,和亚兰王哈薛交战;亚兰人击伤了约兰。 于是约兰回到耶斯列去,医治他在拉末和亚兰王交战的时候所受的伤。犹大王约兰的儿子亚撒利雅,因亚哈的儿子约兰病了,就下到耶斯列去看他。

亚哈谢遭害(B)

亚哈谢去见约兰,就遇了害,这原是出于 神;因为他去到以后,就和约兰一同出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户。这耶户就是耶和华所膏的,为要除灭亚哈家。 耶户讨伐亚哈家的罪的时候,遇见了犹大的众领袖和亚哈谢的兄弟的儿子,他们都是侍候亚哈谢的,耶户把他们都杀了。 耶户追寻亚哈谢。那时,亚哈谢躲藏在撒玛利亚,有人捉住他,把他带到耶户那里,耶户就杀了他,却把他埋葬了,因为他们说:“他是约沙法的孙子;这约沙法是一心寻求耶和华的。”这样,亚哈谢的家没有一人有能力可以保持王权的。

亚他利雅弄权(C)

10 亚哈谢的母亲亚他利雅见自己的儿子死了,就起来杀尽犹大家中所有王族的后裔。 11 但是王的女儿约示巴,把亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那些将要被杀的王子中偷出来,把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里。约兰王的女儿约示巴是大祭司耶何耶大的妻子,把约阿施收藏起来,躲避亚他利雅,免得被亚他利雅杀死,因为约示巴是亚哈谢的妹妹。 12 约阿施和他们在 神的殿里一同躲藏了六年;那时亚他利雅统治犹大地。

22 Y los moradores de Jerusalén hicieron rey en lugar suyo a Ocozías su hijo menor; porque el ejército que había venido con los árabes al campamento, había matado a todos los mayores; por lo cual reinó Ocozías, hijo de Joram rey de Judá.

Cuando Ocozías comenzó a reinar era de cuarenta y dos años, {otro texto: veintidós años} y reinó un año en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Atalía, hija de Omri.

También él anduvo en los caminos de la casa de Acab; porque su madre le aconsejaba a obrar impíamente.

Hizo, pues, lo malo ante los ojos del SEÑOR, como la casa de Acab; porque después de la muerte de su padre, ellos le aconsejaron para su perdición.

Y él anduvo en los consejos de ellos, y fue a la guerra con Joram hijo de Acab, rey de Israel, contra Hazael rey de Siria, a Ramot de Galaad, donde los sirios hirieron a Joram.

Y se volvió para curarse en Jezreel de las heridas que le habían hecho en Ramá, peleando con Hazael rey de Siria. Y descendió Azarías hijo de Joram, rey de Judá, a visitar a Joram hijo de Acab, en Jezreel, porque allí estaba enfermo.

Pero esto venía de Dios, para que Ocozías fuera hollado viniendo a Joram; porque tan pronto llegó, salió con Joram a encontrarse con Jehú hijo de Nimsi, al cual el SEÑOR había ungido para que talara la casa de Acab.

Y fue que, haciendo juicio Jehú con la casa de Acab, halló a los príncipes de Judá, y a los hijos de los hermanos de Ocozías, que servían a Ocozías, y los mató.

Y buscando a Ocozías, el cual se había escondido en Samaria, lo tomaron, y lo trajeron a Jehú, y le mataron; y le dieron sepultura, porque dijeron: Es hijo de Josafat, el cual buscó al SEÑOR de todo su corazón. Y la casa de Ocozías no tenía fuerzas para poder retener el reino.

10 ¶ Entonces Atalía madre de Ocozías, viendo que su hijo había muerto, se levantó y destruyó toda la simiente real de la casa de Judá.

11 Y Josabet, hija del rey, tomó a Joás hijo de Ocozías, y lo hurtó de entre los hijos del rey, que mataban, y le guardó a él y a su ama en la cámara de las camas. Así, pues, lo escondió Josabet, hija del rey Joram, mujer de Joiada el sacerdote (porque ella era hermana de Ocozías), de delante de Atalía, y no le mataron.

12 Y estuvo con ellos escondido en la Casa de Dios seis años. Entre tanto Atalía reinaba en el país.

Ahaziah King of Judah(A)(B)

22 The people(C) of Jerusalem(D) made Ahaziah, Jehoram’s youngest son, king in his place, since the raiders,(E) who came with the Arabs into the camp, had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

Ahaziah was twenty-two[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.

He too followed(F) the ways of the house of Ahab,(G) for his mother encouraged him to act wickedly. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for after his father’s death they became his advisers, to his undoing. He also followed their counsel when he went with Joram[b] son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.(H) The Arameans wounded Joram; so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramoth[c] in his battle with Hazael(I) king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah[d] son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab because he had been wounded.

Through Ahaziah’s(J) visit to Joram, God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. While Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab,(K) he found the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives, who had been attending Ahaziah, and he killed them. He then went in search of Ahaziah, and his men captured him while he was hiding(L) in Samaria. He was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought(M) the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.

Athaliah and Joash(N)

10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehosheba,[e] the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes who were about to be murdered and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehosheba,[f] the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him. 12 He remained hidden with them at the temple of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.

Ahaziah Reigns in Judah(A)

22 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made (B)Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the (C)Arabians into the camp had killed all the (D)older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned. Ahaziah was [a]forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was (E)Athaliah the [b]granddaughter of Omri. He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly. Therefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction. He also followed their advice, and went with [c]Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. (F)Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And [d]Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

His going to Joram (G)was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s [e]downfall; for when he arrived, (H)he went out with [f]Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, (I)whom the Lord had anointed to [g]cut off the house of Ahab. And it happened, when Jehu was (J)executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and (K)found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them. (L)Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, “because,” they said, “he is the son of (M)Jehoshaphat, who (N)sought the Lord with all his heart.”

So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

Athaliah Reigns in Judah(O)

10 (P)Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah. 11 But [h]Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took (Q)Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. 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 did not kill him. 12 And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
