Ii Paralipomenon 27

1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.

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 Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini: et adhuc populus delinquebat.

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 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.

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

4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.

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

5 Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.

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 Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.

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

7 Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.

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 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.

9 Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.

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