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.
