2 Chronicles 27:1-3

Good News Translation

King Jotham of Judah^(A)

27 Jotham became king at the age of twenty-five, and he ruled in Jerusalem for sixteen years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. ² He did what was pleasing to the Lord, just as his father had done; but unlike his father he did not sin by burning incense^[a] in the Temple. The people, however, went on sinning.

³ It was Jotham who built the North Gate of the Temple and did extensive work on the city wall in the area of Jerusalem called Ophel.
