1Jotham<3147> was twenty-five<6242><2568> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> sixteen<8337><6240> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>. And his mother's<517> name<8034> was Jerushah<3388> the daughter<1323> of Zadok<6659>.
2He did<6213> right<3477> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, according to all<3605> that his father<1> Uzziah<5818> had done<6213>; however<7534> he did not enter<935> the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068>. But the people<5971> continued<5750> acting<7843> corruptly<7843>.
3He built<1129> the upper<5945> gate<8179> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>, and he built<1129> extensively<7230> the wall<2346> of Ophel<6077>.
4Moreover, he built<1129> cities<5892> in the hill<2022> country<2022> of Judah<3063>, and he built<1129> fortresses<1003> and towers<4026> on the wooded<2793> hills.
5He fought<3898> also with the king<4428> of the Ammonites<1121><5983> and prevailed<2388> over<5921> them so that the Ammonites<1121><5983> gave<5414> him during that year<8141> one hundred<3967> talents<3603> of silver<3701>, ten<6235> thousand<505> kors<3734> of wheat<2406> and ten<6235> thousand<505> of barley<8184>. The Ammonites<1121><5983> also paid<7725> him this<2088> amount in the second<8145> and in the third<7992> year<8141>.
6So Jotham<3147> became<2388> mighty<2388> because<3588> he ordered<3559> his ways<1870> before<6440> the LORD<3068> his God<430>.
7Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Jotham<3147>, even all<3605> his wars<4421> and his acts<1870>, behold<2009>, they are written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478> and Judah<3063>.
8He was twenty-five<6242><2568> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> sixteen<8337><6240> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>.
9And Jotham<3147> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, and they buried<6912> him in the city<5892> of David<1732>; and Ahaz<271> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
