2CH-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.

2CH-27:2 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.

2CH-27:3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on

the wall of Ophel he built much.

2CH-27:4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and

in the forests he built castles and towers.

2CH-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.

2CH-27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways

before the LORD his God.

2CH-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.

2CH-27:8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign,

 and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

2CH-27:9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him

in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
