1 Iotham was fiue and twentie yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned sixteene yeres in Hierusalem: His mothers name also was Ierusa, the daughter of Zadoc. 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. Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, in all poyntes as did his father Uzzia, saue that he came not into the temple of the Lorde: and the people did yet wickedly. 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. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the LORD. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices.
3 He built the hie gate of the temple of the Lorde, and on the wall (where the house of ordinauce was) he built much. He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD and did much building on the wall of Ophel. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the LORD and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 Moreouer, he built cities in the mountaines of Iuda, and in the wood countrey he built castels and towres. Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills. He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 He fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them: And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundred talentes of siluer, & ten thousand quarters of wheate, and ten thousand of barlye: So much did the children of Ammon geue him the second yere, and the third also. 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. Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 So Iotham became mightie, because he directed his way before the Lorde his God. So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God. Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the LORD his God.
7 The rest of the actes of Iotham, and all his warres, & his conuersation, loe they are written in the booke of the kinges of Israel and Iuda. 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. The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was twentie and fiue yeres olde when he began to raigne, and raigned sixteene yeres in Hierusalem. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne raigned in his steade. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Ahaz his son reigned in his place. Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
