2 Chronicles 27:2-9 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
2
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzzi'ah had done--only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.
3
He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did much building on the wall of Ophel.
4
Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.
5
He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.
6
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7
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.
8
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
