1 Jotham3147 was twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 sixteen8337 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem3389. His mother's517 name8034 also was Jerushah3388, the daughter1323 of Zadok6659. 2 And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, according to all that his father1 Uzziah5818 did6213: howbeit he entered935 not into the temple1964 of the LORD3068. And the people5971 did yet corruptly7843. 3 He built1129 the high5945 gate8179 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and on the wall2346 of Ophel6077 he built1129 much7230.¹ 4 Moreover he built1129 cities5892 in the mountains2022 of Judah3063, and in the forests2793 he built1129 castles1003 and towers4026. 5 He fought3898 also with the king4428 of the Ammonites5984, and prevailed2388 against them. And the children1121 of Ammon5983 gave5414 him the same year8141 an hundred3967 talents3603 of silver3701, and ten6235 thousand505 measures3734 of wheat2406, and ten6235 thousand505 of barley8184. So much did the children1121 of Ammon5983 pay7725 unto2063 him, both the second8145 year8141, and the third7992.² 6 So Jotham3147 became mighty2388, because he prepared3559 his ways1870 before6440 the LORD3068 his God430.³ 7 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jotham3147, and all his wars4421, and his ways1870, lo, they are written3789 in the book5612 of the kings4428 of Israel3478 and Judah3063. 8 He was five2568 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and reigned4427 sixteen8337 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem3389. 9 And Jotham3147 slept7901 with his fathers1, and they buried6912 him in the city5892 of David1732: and Ahaz271 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
