27:1 Joatham [was] twenty and five years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his
mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
27:2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to
all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord.
And still the people corrupted themselves.
27:3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in
the wall of Opel.
27:4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both
dwelling-places and towers.
27:5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed
against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred
talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, an ten thousand of
barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in
the first and second and third years.
27:6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his
God.
27:7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds,
behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27:8
27:9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of
David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead. |
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.
27:2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to
all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of
the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
27:3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of
Ophel he built much.
27:4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests
he built castles and towers.
27:5 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.
27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD
his God.
27:7 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.
27:8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned
sixteen years in Jerusalem.
27:9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of
David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. |
