2 Chronicles 27

1 twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerushah, 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 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting 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 Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

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

4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he 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, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and 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 strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.

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

7 But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there 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 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.

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

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him, in the city of David, —and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

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