*
Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned sixteen shesh #
years in Jerusalem .
His mothers name also was Jerushah ,
the daughter of Zadok .
*
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD ,
according to all that his father Uzziah did :
howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD .
And the people did yet corruptly .
*
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD ,
and on the wall of Ophel he built much .
*
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah ,
and in the forests he built castles and towers .
*
He fought also with the king of the Ammonites ,
and prevailed against them .
And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver ,
and ten thousand measures of wheat ,
and ten thousand of barley s @#
orah #.
So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him ,
both the second year ,
and the third .
*
So Jotham became mighty ,
because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham ,
and all his wars ,
and his ways ,
lo ,
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 shesh #
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 .
