27:1 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.
27:2 And
he
did
what
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
the
LORD
according
to
all
that
his
father
Uzziah
had
done,
except
he
did
not
enter
the
temple
of
the
LORD.
But
the
people
still
followed
corrupt
practices.
27:3 He
built
the
upper
gate
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
did
much
building
on
the
wall
of
Ophel.
27:4 Moreover,
he
built
cities
in
the
hill
country
of
Judah,
and
forts
and
towers
on
the
wooded
hills.
27:5 He
fought
with
the
king
of
the
Ammonites
and
prevailed
against
them.
And
the
Ammonites
gave
him
that
year
100
talents
of
silver,
and
10,000
cors
of
wheat
and
10,000
of
barley.
The
Ammonites
paid
him
the
same
amount
in
the
second
and
the
third
years.
27:6 So
Jotham
became
mighty,
because
he
ordered
his
ways
before
the
LORD
his
God.
27:7 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.
27:8 He
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
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
place.
