II Chronicles Chapter 27

II Chronicles Chapter 27
1 Jotham was five and twenty year old
when he began to reign, and reigned
sixteen year in Jerusalem, and his
mother's name was Jerushah the daughter
of Zadok.
2 And he did uprightly in the sight of the
Lord according to all that his father
Uzziah did, save that he entered not into
the temple of the Lord, and the people
did yet corrupt their ways.
3 He built the high gate of the house of
the Lord, and he built very much on the
wall of the castle.
4 Moreover he built cities in the
mountains of Judah, and in the forests he
built palaces and towers.
5 And he fought with the king of the
children of Ammon, and prevailed
against them. And the children of
Ammon gave him the same year an
hundred talents of silver, and ten
thousand measures of wheat, and ten
thousand of barley: this did the children
of Ammon give him both in the second
year and the third. 6 So Jotham became
mighty because he directed his way
before the Lord his God.
7 Concerning the rest of the acts of
Jotham, and all his wars and his ways,
lo, they are written in the book of the
kings of Israel, and Judah. 8 He was five
and twenty year old when he began to
reign, and reigned sixteen year 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.
