2 Chronicles 27

1 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

2 And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people doing corruptly.

And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.

3 He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;

He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.

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

Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

5 And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.

He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.

6 And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.

And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.

7 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.

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