2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

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 what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.

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 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.

4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.

In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.

5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.

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 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 So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

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 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.

9 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
