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.

Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah 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 hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

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

He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.

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

Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

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.

And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

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

So Iotham became mightie because hee 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.

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.

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

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.

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 Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
