‏ 2 Chronicles 27

1 Joathamwas twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem:and his mother's namewas Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fatherOzias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves. 3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel. 4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods,he built both dwelling-places and towers. 5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and thechildren of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat,and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the firstand second and third years. 6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. 7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold,they are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz hisson reigned in his stead.
