2 Chronicles 27:1-4 ▼

1 Jotham 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 He 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 Jotham constructed the Upper Gate of the LORD's Temple and did extensive work on the wall of Ophel.

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