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.
