1 Jotham was twen­ty and five years old when he be­gan to reign, and he reigned six­teen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the 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: how­beit he en­tered not into the tem­ple of the LORD. And the peo­ple did yet cor­rupt­ly. 3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 4 More­over he built cities in the moun­tains of Ju­dah, and in the forests he built cas­tles and tow­ers. 5 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. So much did the chil­dren of Am­mon pay unto him, both the sec­ond year, and the third. 6 So Jotham be­came mighty, be­cause he pre­pared his ways be­fore the LORD his God. 7 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. 8 He was five and twen­ty years old when he be­gan to reign, and 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.
