Jotham Reigns in Judah
1 Jotham awas twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was1 Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still athe people acted corruptly.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of aOphel.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 He also fought with the king of the aAmmonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.
