Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ozias pater suus excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini et adhuc populus delinquebat
2
And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still the people acted corruptly.
3 ipse aedificavit portam domus Domini Excelsam et in muro Ophel multa construxit

He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel.
4 urbes quoque aedificavit in montibus Iuda et in saltibus castella et turres

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon et vicit eos dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti et decem milia choros tritici ac totidem choros hordei haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio

He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.

So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
