ASV_Strong : 2 Chronicles 27
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] years[H8141] in Jerusalem[H3389]: and his mother[H517]'s name[H8034] was Jerushah[H3388] the daughter[H1323] of Zadok[H6659].
2. And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the eyes[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], according to all that his father[H1] Uzziah[H5818] had done[H6213]: howbeit he entered[H935] not into the temple[H1964] of Jehovah[H3068]. And the people[H5971] did yet corruptly[H7843].
3. He built[H1129] the upper[H5945] gate[H8179] of the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and on the wall[H2346] of Ophel[H6077] he built[H1129] much[H7230].
4. Moreover he built[H1129] cities[H5892] in the hill-country[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 children of Ammon[H5984], and prevailed[H2388] against them[H1121]. And the children of Ammon[H5983] gave[H5414] him the same year[H8141] a 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] render[H7725] unto[H2063] him[H8145], in the second year[H8141] also[H7992], and in the third.
6. So Jotham[H3147] became mighty[H2388], because he ordered[H3559] his ways[H1870] before[H6440] Jehovah[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], behold[H3789], they are written 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] years[H8141] in Jerusalem[H3389].
9. And Jotham[H3147] slept[H7901] with his fathers[H1], and they buried[H6912] him in the city[H5892] of David[H1732]: and Ahaz[H271] his son[H1121] reigned in his stead[H4427].
