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.

Iotham was fiue and twentie yere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Ierushah 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 hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

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

He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wall of the castle.

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

Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

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.

And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them. And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, and ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

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

So Iotham became mightie because hee 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.

Concerning the rest of the acts of Iotham, and all his warres and his wayes, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel, and Iudah.

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

He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem.

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 Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
