King James Version
2 Chronicles • Chapter 27
1
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok.
2
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like all that his father Uzziah had done; only he did not enter the house of the Lord, and the people were still corrupt.
3
He built the gate of the house of the Lord, the upper, and he built the wall of the Ophel extensively.
4
And he built cities in the hill country of Judah and built villages in the lowlands and towers.
5
He fought against the king of the Ammonites, and he strengthened himself against them. The sons of Ammon gave him in that year a hundred talents of silver and ten thousand cores of wheat and ten thousand cores of barley. This they gave to him, the sons of Ammon, in the second year and the third.
6
And Jotham became strong because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7
And the rest of the words 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 in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9
And Jotham lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
