2 Chronicles 27:1-4 ▼

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

2 He did what was right in the LORD’s sight just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he didn’t enter the LORD’s sanctuary, but the people still behaved corruptly.

3 Jotham built the Upper Gate of the LORD’s temple, and he built extensively on the wall of Ophel.

4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
