Jotam kung i Juda
27 (A) Jotam var tjugofem år när han blev kung, och han regerade sexton år[a] i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Jerusha och var dotter till Sadok. 2 (B) Han gjorde det som var rätt i Herrens ögon, precis som hans far Ussia hade gjort, och till det kom att han inte trängde in i Herrens tempel. Men folket gjorde fortfarande det som var ont[b].
3 (C) Jotam byggde Övre porten till Herrens hus, och på Ofelmuren[c] utförde han stora byggnadsarbeten. 4 (D) Dessutom byggde han städer i Juda bergsbygd och uppförde borgar och torn i skogarna. 5 Han förde krig mot ammoniternas kung och besegrade dem så att ammoniterna det året måste ge honom 100 talenter silver, 10 000 korer vete och 10 000 korer[d] korn. Lika mycket betalade ammoniterna åt honom också andra och tredje året. 6 Jotam blev mäktig, eftersom han vandrade med fasta steg inför Herren sin Gud.
7 Vad som mer finns att säga om Jotam, om alla hans krig och annat han företog sig, det är skrivet i boken om Israels och Juda kungar. 8 Han var tjugofem år när han blev kung, och han regerade sexton år i Jerusalem. 9 Jotam gick till vila hos sina fäder, och man begravde honom i Davids stad. Hans son Ahas blev kung efter honom.

27 Huszonöt esztendõs vala Jótám, mikor uralkodni kezde, és tizenhat esztendeig uralkodék Jeruzsálemben; az õ anyjának neve Jérusa vala, a Sádók leánya.
2 És kedves dolgot cselekedék az Úr elõtt, mint az õ atyja, Uzziás is cselekedett vala, csakhogy nem méne az Úr templomába; a nép azonban tovább is vétkezék.
3 Õ építé meg az Úr házának felsõ kapuját; a vár kõfalán is sokat építe.
4 Annakfelette a Júda hegyes földén városokat építe, és a ligetekben palotákat és tornyokat építe.
5 Õ is hadakozott az Ammon fiainak királyai ellen, a kiket megvere; és adának néki az Ammon fiai azon esztendõben száz tálentom ezüstöt s tízezer véka búzát és tízezer véka árpát. Ezt fizették néki az Ammon fiai a második és harmadik esztendõben is.
6 És hatalmassá lõn Jótám, mert útjában az Úr elõtt, az õ Istene elõtt járt.
7 Jótámnak pedig több dolgait, minden hadakozásait és útjait, ímé megírták az Izráel és a Júda királyainak könyvében.
8 Huszonöt esztendõs korában kezdett uralkodni, és tizenhat esztendeig uralkodék Jeruzsálemben.
9 És elaluvék Jótám az õ atyjával, és eltemeték õt a Dávid városában; és uralkodék Akház, az õ fia helyette.
2 Chronicles 27
EasyEnglish Bible
Jotham rules Judah as king
27 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah as king in Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother's name was Jerusha. She was Zadok's daughter. 2 Jotham did things that the Lord said were good, as his father Uzziah had done. But he did not try to go into the Lord's temple and offer incense, as his father had done. But the people continued to do bad things.
3 Jotham built the Higher Gate of the Lord's temple. He also did a lot of work to repair the city wall near Ophel hill. 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah. He also built strong buildings and towers in the forests.[a]
5 Jotham took his army to attack the king of Ammon. He won the battle against them. That year, the Ammonites gave to him 3,400 kilograms of silver. They also gave him 2,200 kilolitres of wheat and 2,200 kilolitres of barley. The Ammonites paid Jotham the same amount for each of the next two years.
6 Jotham became a powerful king because he faithfully obeyed the Lord his God.
Jotham dies
7 The other things that happened while Jotham was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of the kings of Israel and Judah’. It tells about the wars that Jotham fought and the other things that he did. 8 He was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah as king in Jerusalem for 16 years. 9 Jotham died and his people buried him in the City of David.
His son Ahaz became king after him.
Footnotes
- 27:4 The strong buildings and towers were places where soldiers could stay to keep the country safe.
2 Chronicles 27
New International Version
Jotham King of Judah(A)
27 Jotham(B) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(C) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(D) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[a] of silver, ten thousand cors[b] of wheat and ten thousand cors[c] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(E) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
