II CHRONICLES ยท Chapter 27
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: nevertheless 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 position.
