2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

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.

2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he did not enter into the LORD's temple. The people still did corruptly.

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.

3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he carried out considerable work on the wall of Ophel.

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

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

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

5 He fought also with the king of the people of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The people of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third.

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 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

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

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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.

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

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

9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

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