1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1Jotham was 25 years old when he began his reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother was Zadok's daughter Jerusha.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, just as his father Uzziah had done, even though he did not enter the Temple. Nevertheless, the people continued acting corruptly.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Jotham constructed the Upper Gate of the LORD's Temple and did extensive work on the wall of Ophel.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4He also built cities in the hill country of Judah, along with fortresses and guard towers in the forests.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5He launched a military excursion against the king of the Ammonites and defeated him. As a result, that year the Ammonites paid 100 talents of silver in tribute, as well as 10,000 kors of wheat and 10,000 kors of barley. The Ammonites continued to pay this same amount in tribute over the following two years.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Jotham grew in power because he had determined to live his life in the presence of the LORD his God.
