📖 2 Chronicles introduction

Read the chapter

1Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. ✦ 2He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; however he did not enter the temple of the Lord. But the people continued acting corruptly. ✦ 3He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and he built the wall of Ophel extensively. ✦ 4Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built fortresses and towers on the wooded hills. ✦ 5He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them so that during that year the Ammonites gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites also paid him this amount in the second year and in the third. ✦ 6So Jotham became powerful because he directed his ways before the Lord his God. ✦ 7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. ✦ 8He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. ✦ 9And Jotham lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place. ✦
