1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

2 He did what was right in the sight of the LORD just as his father Uzziah had done—only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

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 forts and towers on the wooded hills.
