2 Chronicles 27:1-32

VIN(i) 1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways. 3 Jotham built the Upper Gate of the LORD’s Temple and did extensive building of the wall at the Ophel. 4 He built cities in the hills of Judah. He also built forts and towers in the wooded areas. 5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites gave him seven thousand and five hundred pounds of silver, sixty thousand bushels of wheat, and sixty thousand bushels of barley. The Ammonites gave him the same amount for two more years. 6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. 7 The rest of the acts of Jotham and all his wars and his ways are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years. 9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
