Dual Panel1Jotham <03147> [was] twenty <06242> and five <02568> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800)_, and he reigned <04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>_. His mother's <0517> name <08034> also [was] Jerushah <03388>_, the daughter <01323> of Zadok <06659>_.
2And he did <06213> (8799) [that which was] right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>_, according to all that his father <01> Uzziah <05818> did <06213> (8804)_: howbeit he entered <0935> (8804) not into the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>_. And the people <05971> did yet corruptly <07843> (8688)_.
3He built <01129> (8804) the high <05945> gate <08179> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and on the wall <02346> of Ophel <06077> he built <01129> (8804) much <07230>_. {Ophel: or, the tower}
4Moreover he built <01129> (8804) cities <05892> in the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>_, and in the forests <02793> he built <01129> (8804) castles <01003> and towers <04026>_.
5He fought <03898> (8738) also with the king <04428> of the Ammonites <05984>_, and prevailed <02388> (8799) against them. And the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> gave <05414> (8799) him the same year <08141> an hundred <03967> talents <03603> of silver <03701>_, and ten <06235> thousand <0505> measures <03734> of wheat <02406>_, and ten <06235> thousand <0505> of barley <08184>_. So much did the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> pay <07725> (8689) unto <02063> him, both the second <08145> year <08141>_, and the third <07992>_. {So...: Heb. This}
6So Jotham <03147> became mighty <02388> (8691)_, because he prepared <03559> (8689) his ways <01870> before <06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>_. {prepared: or, established}
7Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jotham <03147>_, and all his wars <04421>_, and his ways <01870>_, lo, they [are] written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>_.
8He was five <02568> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800)_, and reigned <04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>_.
9And Jotham <03147> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>_, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David <01732>_: and Ahaz <0271> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
