2 Chronicles 27

1

Jotham was twenty and 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

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly.

3

He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4

Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

5

He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand 1 measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third. 1) Heb cors

6

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.

7

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.

8

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in 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.
