Chronicles II 27
1 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.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
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.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.
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 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.
He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
