The kings from Rehoboam to Ahaz
he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years; his mother was Jerushah
daughter of Zadok.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as
his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple
of the Lord; the people, however, continued their corrupt practices.
3 He constructed the upper gate of the house of the Lord and built
extensively on the wall at Ophel.
4 He built cities in the hill-country of
Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.
5 He made war on the
king of the Ammonites and defeated him; and that year the Ammonites
gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kor of wheat and ten
thousand of barley. They paid him the same tribute in the second and
third years.
6 Jotham became very powerful because he maintained a
steady course of obedience to the Lord his God.
7 The other events of
Jotham's reign, all that he did in war and in peace, are recorded in the
annals of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was twenty-five years old
when he came to the throne, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen
years.
9 He rested with his forefathers and was buried in the city of
David; and he was succeeded by his son Ahaz.
