Jotham was twenty -
five years old when he became
king,
and he reigned in
Jerusalem
sixteen years .
His mother’s
name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Jotham was twenty and
five years old when he began
to
reign;
and he reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem:
and
his mother's
name was Jerushah the
daughter of Zadok.
And he did what
was right in the eyes of the
LORD
, just
as
his father Uzziah had done .
In
addition,
he did
not enter
the temple of the
LORD
. But
the people still
behaved
corruptly.
And he did that
which
was right in the eyes of Jehovah
, according
to
all
that
his father Uzziah had done :
howbeit
he entered
not into
the temple of Jehovah
. And
the people did
yet
corruptly.
Jotham
rebuilt
the Upper Gate of the house of the
LORD
, and he
worked
extensively
on the wall at
the
hill
of Ophel.
He
built
the upper gate of the house of Jehovah
, and on the wall of Ophel he
built
much
.
He also
built cities in the hill country of Judah and
fortresses
and towers
in the forests.
Moreover
he built cities in the hill -
country of Judah ,
and in the forests he
built
castles
and
towers
.
Jotham
waged
war
against
the king of the Ammonites
and defeated
them ,
and that
year
they
gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors
of wheat, and ten thousand cors
of barley. They
paid
him
the same
in the second and third years
.
He
fought
also
with
the king of the children
of
Ammon,
and prevailed
against
them .
And the
children
of
Ammon
gave him the
same
year
a hundred talents of silver, and
ten thousand measures
of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So
much
did
the children
of
Ammon
render
unto
him,
in the second year
also,
and in
the
third.
So Jotham grew
powerful
because he ordered his ways before the
LORD
his God.
So Jotham became
mighty,
because he ordered his ways before Jehovah
his God.
As
for
the rest of the acts of Jotham, along
with
all his wars and his ways, they are indeed
written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Now
the rest of the acts of Jotham, and
all his wars ,
and his ways, behold,
they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
He was twenty-
five years old when he became
king
, and he
reigned in
Jerusalem
sixteen years.
He was five and
twenty
years old when he began
to
reign
, and reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem
.
And Jotham rested
with his fathers and was
buried in the City of David .
And his son Ahaz
reigned in his place
.
And Jotham slept
with his fathers ,
and they
buried him
in the city of David :
and Ahaz
his son reigned in his stead
.
