The Second Book of Chronicles
27: 1Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years
in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 27:2And he did that
which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit
he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly. 27:3He built the upper
gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 27:4Moreover he built cities
in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 27:5He fought also with
the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave
him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten
thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also,
and in the third. 27:6So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his
God. 27:7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written
in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 27:8He was five and twenty years old when he began to
reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 27:9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they
buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
