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.

Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, 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 is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.

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

He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.

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

Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

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 likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.

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

So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways 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.

And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are 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;

Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign 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 Achaz his son became king in his stead.
