經文: 歷代志下 27:2 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父烏西雅一切所行的，只是不入耶和華的殿。百姓還行邪僻的事

默想: 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，只是不入耶和華的殿。約坦遵行耶和華的律法，但是卻不到聖殿敬拜神，親近神。或許是因為他的父親烏西雅王年老時，因為心高氣傲，強行進入聖殿，要親自燒香，因此，耶和華立刻處罰烏西雅王，讓他長了大痲瘋。約坦王或許因此對聖殿與耶和華產生敬畏與害怕的心，不趕進入聖殿。求主幫助我，不只是在日常生活中盡心力遵行上帝的旨意與命令，更喜歡常常到聖殿親近上帝，敬拜侍奉耶和華。

題目: 猶大王約坦的強盛，是因他忠實順從上主祂的上帝(v6)。試想，你願忠心順從上主直到永遠嗎? 

 

27:1 約坦登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年，他母親名叫耶路沙，是撒督的女兒。
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jeru'shah the daughter of Zadok.
27:2 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父烏西雅一切所行的，只是不入耶和華的殿。百姓還行邪僻的事。
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzzi'ah had done -- only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.
27:3 約坦建立耶和華殿的上門，在俄斐勒城上多有建造，
He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did much building on the wall of Ophel.
27:4 又在猶大山地建造城邑，在樹林中建築營寨和高樓。
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.
27:5 約坦與亞捫人的王打仗勝了他們，當年他們進貢銀一百他連得，小麥一萬歌珥，大麥一萬歌珥；第二年、第三年也是這樣。
He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.
27:6 約坦在耶和華─他　神面前行正道，以致日漸強盛。
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
27:7 約坦其餘的事和一切爭戰，並他的行為，都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
27:8 他登基的時候年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王十六年。
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
27:9 約坦與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛城裡。他兒子亞哈斯接續他作王。
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
