2 Chronicles 27

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah; she was Zadok's daughter.

2 Jotham did what was right in the LORD's eyes, just as his father Uzziah had done. Unlike Uzziah, Jotham didn't enter the LORD's temple. But the people continued their crooked practices.

3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the LORD's temple and did extensive work on the wall of the elevated fortress.

4 He built towns in Judah's highlands and fortresses and towers in the wooded areas.

5 He fought against the king of the Ammonites and defeated the Ammonites. They paid him one hundred kikkars of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand kors of barley that year and for the next two years.

6 Jotham was securely established because he maintained a faithful life before the LORD his God.

7 The rest of Jotham's deeds, including all his wars and accomplishments, are written in the official records of Israel's and Judah's kings.

8 He was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Jotham lay down with his ancestors and was buried in David's City. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Jotham 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.

2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord according to all that his father Uzziah had done, except he did not enter 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 100 talents of silver, and 10,000 cors of wheat and 10,000 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 place.
