2 Chronicles 27 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Jotham Succeeds Uzziah in Judah

2Ch 27:1

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2Ch 27:2He did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; however he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people continued acting corruptly.
2Ch 27:3He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and he built the wall of Ophel extensively.
2Ch 27:4Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built fortresses and towers on the wooded hills.
2Ch 27:5He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them so that during that year the Ammonites gave him [fn]a hundred talents of silver, [fn]ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites also paid him this amount in the second year and in the third.
2Ch 27:6So Jotham became powerful because he directed his ways before the LORD his God.
2Ch 27:7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
2Ch 27:8He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
2Ch 27:9And Jotham [fn]lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place.
