[1] Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. [2] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly. [3] He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel. [4] Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. [5] He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talentsⓘ of silver, ten thousand corsⓘ of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley.ⓘ The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third. [6] So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God. [7] Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. [8] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. [9] Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

[1] Jotham H3147 was twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 His mother’s H517 name H8034 also was Jerushah, H3388 the daughter H1323 of Zadok. H6659 [2] And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 according to all that his father H1 Uzziah H5818 did: H6213 howbeit he entered H935 not H3808 into the temple H1964 of the Lord. H3068 And the people H5971 did yet corruptly. H7843 [3] He built H1129 the high H5945 H853 gate H8179 of the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and on the wall H2346 of Ophel H6077§ he built H1129 much. H7230 [4] Moreover he built H1129 cities H5892 in the mountains H2022 of Judah, H3063 and in the forests H2793 he built H1129 castles H1003 and towers. H4026 [5] He fought H3898 also with the king H4428 of the Ammonites, H5984 and prevailed H2388 against H5921 them. And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 gave H5414 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 unto H2063 him, both the second H8145 year, H8141 and the third. H7992 [6] So Jotham H3147 became mighty, H2388 because H3588 he prepared H3559§ his ways H1870 before H6440 the Lord H3068 his God. H430 [7] 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 in the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063 [8] He was five H2568 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 [9] And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead.
