*
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 the daughter of Zadok .
*
And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD ,
according to all that his father Uzziah had done ;
howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD .
And the people did yet corruptly .
*
He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD ,
and on the wall of Ophel he built much .
*
Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah ,
and in the forest he built castles and towers .
*
He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon ,
and prevailed against them .
And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver ,
and ten thousand measures of wheat ,
and ten thousand of barley .
So much did the children of Ammon render unto him ,
in the second year also ,
and in the third .
*
So Jotham became mighty ,
because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God .
*
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 .
*
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign ,
and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem .
*
And Jotham slept with his fathers ,
and they buried him in the city of David ;
and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead .
