2 Chronicles
Chapter Twenty-Seven
1 ¶ Jotham was twenty-five
years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His
mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that
his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD).
But still the people acted corruptly.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he built extensively
on the wall of Ophel.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he
built fortresses and towers.
5 He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people
of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors
of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in
the second and third years also.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his
God.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed
they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years
in Jerusalem.
9 So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David.
Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
