2 Chronicles 27

1 Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

Jotham [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

2 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.

And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Uzziah did; only, he has not come into the temple of YHWH; and again the people are doing corruptly.

3 He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.

He has built the Upper Gate of the house of YHWH, and in the wall of Ophel he has built abundantly;

4 Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

and he has built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and he has built palaces and towers in the forests.

5 And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.

And he has fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevails over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the sons of Ammon have returned this to him both in the second year and in the third.

6 So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways before the Lord his God.

And Jotham strengthens himself, for he has prepared his ways before his God YHWH.

7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.

He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.

and Jotham lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
