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. |
| 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. |
| 3 |
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the
wall of Ophel he built much. |
| 4 |
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in
the forests he built castles and towers. |
| 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. |
| 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, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and
Judah. |
| 8 |
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. |
| 9 |
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. |
