Jotham was twenty-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.
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.
He did that
which
was right in the eyes of Yahweh
, according
to
all
that
his father Uzziah had done :
however
he didn't
enter into
the temple of Yahweh
. The people did
yet
corruptly.
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.
He
built
the upper gate of the house of Yahweh
, and on the wall of Ophel he
built
much
.
Jotham
rebuilt
the Upper Gate of the house of the
LORD
, and he
worked
extensively
on the wall at
the
hill
of Ophel.
Moreover
he built cities in the hill -
country of Judah ,
and in the forests he
built
castles
and
towers
.
He also
built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses
and
towers
in the forests.
He
fought
also
with
the king of the children
of
Ammon,
and prevailed
against
them .
The
children
of
Ammon
gave him the
same
year
one
hundred talents of silver, and
ten thousand measures
of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So
much
did
the
children
of
Ammon
render
to
him ,
in the second year
also,
and in
the
third.
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
.
So Jotham became
mighty,
because he ordered his ways before Yahweh
his God.
So Jotham grew
powerful
because he ordered his ways before the
LORD
his God.
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.
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.
He was five
and
twenty years old when he began
to
reign
, and reigned sixteen
years
in Jerusalem.
He was twenty -five
years old when he became
king
, and he
reigned in Jerusalem sixteen
years
.
Jotham slept
with his fathers ,
and they
buried him
in the city of David :
and Ahaz
his son reigned in his place.
And
Jotham rested
with his fathers and was
buried in the City of David .
And his son Ahaz
reigned in his place.
