| 1 | Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. | JOTHAM king of Judah. 2Chr.27.1-9 740/39bce (Judah) | 2Kgs.15.32-38 |
| 2 | And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his father Uzziah had done - only he did not invade the temple of Yahweh. But the people still followed corrupt practices. | |
| 3 | He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and did much building on the wall of Ophel. | |
| 4 | Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills. | |
| 5 | He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years. | |
| 6 | So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God. | |
| 7 | Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. | |
| 8 | He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years 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. | |
