1 Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Jerushah, daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves. 3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Ophel. 4 In the mountain of Judah, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling places and towers. 5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years. 6 Jotham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. 7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
