2 Chronicles 27 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[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.
