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.

Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

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 that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

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

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

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

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles 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.

Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

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

And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed 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.

Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

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

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

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 Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
