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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
