2 Chronicles 27
- 1Jotham 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.
- 2And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: however he did not enter into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly.
- 3He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
- 4Also he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
- 5He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year about 4 tons of silver, and 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and the third.
- 6So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
- 7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
- 8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
- 9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
