2 Chronicles 27

1 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.

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 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.

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

He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

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

In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

5 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.

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

So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

7 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.

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.

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

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

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