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] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, 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 in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.

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 he built much in the wall of Opel.

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

In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.

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 fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.

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

Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways 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.

And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

8 He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has 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 was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
