1 Jotham war fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa, eine Tochter Zadoks.

2 Und tat, das dem HERRN wohlgefiel, wie sein Vater Usia getan hatte, ohne daß er nicht in den Tempel des HERRN ging, und das Volk sich noch verderbete.
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 Er bauete das hohe Tor am Hause des HERRN, und an der Mauer Ophel bauete er viel.
He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 Und bauete die Städte auf dem Gebirge Juda, und in den Wäldern bauete er Schlösser und Türme.
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Und er stritt mit dem Könige der Kinder Ammon, und er ward ihrer mächtig, daß ihm die Kinder Ammon dasselbe Jahr gaben hundert Zentner Silbers, zehntausend Kor Weizen und zehntausend Gerste. So viel gaben ihm die Kinder Ammon auch im andern und im dritten Jahrs
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 Also ward Jotham mächtig; denn er richtete seine Wege vor dem HERRN, seinem Gott.
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 Was aber mehr von Jotham zu sagen ist, und alle seine Streite und seine Wege, siehe, das ist geschrieben im Buch der Könige Israels und Judas.
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 Fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt war er, da er König ward, und regierete sechzehn Jahre zu Jerusalem.

9 Und Jotham entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn in der Stadt Davids. Und sein Sohn Ahas ward König an seiner Statt.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
