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.

Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.

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.

Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini: et adhuc populus delinquebat.

3 He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.

4 Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.

Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.

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.

Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

6 So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh his God.

Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

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.

Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.

8 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem.

Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit 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.

Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.
