2 Chronicles 27:1-9 — Jotham King of Judah

2Chr.27.1-9

¹Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. ²He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; however, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still acted corruptly. ³He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel. ⁴Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. ⁵He also waged war against the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them. That year the Ammonites gave him one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites paid him this same amount in the second year and in the third. ⁶So Jotham grew powerful, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God. ⁷Now 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. ⁸He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. ⁹And Jotham slept with his fathers , and they buried him in the City of David; and his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
