2Chr 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 YHWH, according to all that his father
Uzziah had done: nevertheless he entered not into the temple of YHWH. And the people
did yet corruptly.
3
He built the upper gate of the house of YHWH, 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 measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children
of Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the third.
6
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before YHWH 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.
