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.
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 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.
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 high
gate of the house of the LORD, 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 mountains
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 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.
So Jotham grew
powerful
because he ordered
his ways before the LORD his God.
So Jotham became
mighty,
because he prepared
his ways before the LORD 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 he
reigned in
Jerusalem
sixteen years.

twenty
years old when he began

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
.
