2 Chronicles 27

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king; he reigned 16 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, except that he didn't enter the Lord's sanctuary. However, the people still behaved corruptly.

3 Jotham built the Upper Gate of the Lord's temple, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel.

4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.

5 He waged war against the king of the Ammonites. He overpowered the Ammonites, and that year they gave him 7,500 pounds of silver, 50,000 bushels of wheat, and 50,000 bushels of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.

6 So Jotham strengthened himself because he did not waver in obeying the Lord his God.

7 As for the rest of the events of Jotham's [reign], along with all his wars and his ways, note that they are written about in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

8 He was 25 years old when he became king; he reigned 16 years in Jerusalem.

9 Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. His son Ahaz became king in his place.

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.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
