2 Chronicles
27:1 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah,
the daughter of Zadok.
27:2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to
all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple
of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
27:3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of
Ophel he built much.
27:4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests
he built castles and towers.
27:5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against
them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred
talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand
of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the
second year, and the third.
27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD
his God.
27:7 Now 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.
27:8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned
sixteen years in Jerusalem.
27:9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of
David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
