2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.

And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.

He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.

4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.

And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.

So Iotham became mightie because hee directed his way before the Lord his God.

7 Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.

And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
