2Chr 27
1
Joathan, see 2 Ch 26:21 Joatham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen
years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his
father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people
corrupted themselves.
3
He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of
Opel.
4
Alex. +’and he built cities’ In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, he built both dwelling-places and towers.
5
He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and
the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten
thousand Gr. cors, the Heb. word measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of
Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
6
Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7
And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, they are
written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
8
Alex. And he reigned twenty-five years, and sixteen years he reigned in Jerusalem.
9
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz
his son reigned in his stead.
