2 Chronicles 27

1 [was] a son of Twenty and five year[s] Jotham when became king he and six-teen year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Jerusha [the] 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 did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that he had done Uzziah father his only not he went into [the] temple of Yahweh and yet the people [were] behaving 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 he built [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh upper and on [the] wall of Ophel he built to abundance.

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.

4 And cities he built in [the] hill country of Judah and in the wooded areas he built fortresses and towers.

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

5 And he he waged war with [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he prevailed over them and they gave to him [the] people of Ammon in the year that one hundred talent[s] of silver and ten thousand cors wheat and barley ten thousand this they brought to him [the] people of (Ammon. *LBH(a)*) And in the year second and 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 he strengthened himself Jotham for he had directed ways his before Yahweh God his.

Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

7 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jotham and all wars his and ways his there 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 A son of twenty and five year[s] he was when became king he and six-teen year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem.

9 And he lay down Jotham with ancestors his and people buried him in [the] city of David and he became king Ahaz son his in place of him.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
