The Second Book of Chronicles (WEB)
27: 1Jotham was twenty-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. 27:2He did that which was
right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he didn't
enter into the temple of Yahweh. The people did yet corruptly. 27:3He built the upper gate of the
house of Yahweh, 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. The children of Ammon gave him the
same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of
barley. So much did the children of Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the
third. 27:6So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh 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. 27:9Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city
of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
