Jotham{H3147} was twenty{H6242} and five{H2568} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign{H4427}{(H8800)}, and he reigned{H4427}{(H8804)} sixteen{H8337}{H6240} years{H8141} in Jerusalem{H3389}. His mother's{H517} name{H8034} also was Jerushah{H3388}, the daughter{H1323} of Zadok{H6659}.

And he did{H6213}{(H8799)} that which was right{H3477} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, according to all that his father{H1} Uzziah{H5818} did{H6213}{(H8804)}: howbeit he entered{H935}{(H8804)} not into the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}. And the people{H5971} did yet corruptly{H7843}{(H8688)}.

He built{H1129}{(H8804)} the high{H5945} gate{H8179} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and on the wall{H2346} of Ophel{H6077} he built{H1129}{(H8804)} much{H7230}.

Moreover he built{H1129}{(H8804)} cities{H5892} in the mountains{H2022} of Judah{H3063}, and in the forests{H2793} he built{H1129}{(H8804)} castles{H1003} and towers{H4026}.

He fought{H3898}{(H8738)} also with the king{H4428} of the Ammonites{H5984}, and prevailed{H2388}{(H8799)} against them. And the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him the same year{H8141} an hundred{H3967} talents{H3603} of silver{H3701}, and ten{H6235} thousand{H505} measures{H3734} of wheat{H2406}, and ten{H6235} thousand{H505} of barley{H8184}. So much did the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} pay{H7725}{(H8689)} unto{H2063} him, both the second{H8145} year{H8141}, and the third{H7992}.

So Jotham{H3147} became mighty{H2388}{(H8691)}, because he prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} his ways{H1870} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} his God{H430}.

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Jotham{H3147}, and all his wars{H4421}, and his ways{H1870}, lo, they are written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of the kings{H4428} of Israel{H3478} and Judah{H3063}.

He was five{H2568} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign{H4427}{(H8800)}, and reigned{H4427}{(H8804)} sixteen{H8337}{H6240} years{H8141} in Jerusalem{H3389}.

And Jotham{H3147} slept{H7901}{(H8799)} with his fathers{H1}, and they buried{H6912}{(H8799)} him in the city{H5892} of David{H1732}: and Ahaz{H271} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead.
