CHAPTER 27
1 Jotham was of five and twenty years, when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 He did that, that was rightful [or right] before the Lord, by all things which Uzziah, his father, had done; except that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people trespassed yet.
3 He builded the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he builded many things in the wall of Ophel;
4 also he builded cities in the hills of Judah, and he builded castles and towers in forests [or high woods].
5 He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and overcame him; and the sons of Ammon gave to him in that time an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of barley, and so many of wheat; the sons of Ammon gave these things to him in the second, and the third years.
6 And Jotham was made strong, for he had dressed his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Forsooth the residue of [the] words of Jotham, and all his battles, and works, be written in the book of the kings of Israel and of Judah.
8 He was of five and twenty years, 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 for him.
