2 Chronicles 27:1-4 ▼

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 He did right in the sight of the LORD, in accordance with everything that his father Uzziah had done; however, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people continued behaving corruptly.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did extensive building on the wall of Ophel.

4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
