2 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lorde according to all that his father Vzziah did, saue that hee entred not into the Temple of the Lorde, and the people did yet corrupt their wayes.

3 He buylt the hie gate of the house of the Lord, and he buylt very much on the wal of the castle.

4 Moreouer hee buylt cities in the mountaines of Iudah, and in the forests he buylt palaces and towres.

5 And he fought with the King of the children of Ammon, & preuailed against them; the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundreth talents of siluer, and ten thousande measures of wheate, & ten thousand of barley: this did the children of Ammon giue him both in the second yeere and the third.

6 So Iotham became mightie because hee directed his way before the Lord his God.
