II Chronicles
Chapter 27
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.
{Jotham
was a Believer But Not a Mature Believer}
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah/God,
according
to all that his father Uzziah did . . .
howbeit
he entered not into the temple of Jehovah/God.
And
the people did yet corruptly.
3
He built the high gate of the house of Jehovah/God,
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 Jehovah/God
his
'Elohiym/Godhead.
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 place/stead.
