Jotham King of Judah(A)
27 Jotham(B) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(C) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(D) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[a] of silver, ten thousand cors[b] of wheat and ten thousand cors[c] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(E) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.

Jotham Reigns in Judah(A)
27 Jotham (B)was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was [a]Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still (C)the people acted corruptly.
3 He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of (D)Ophel. 4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. 5 He also fought with the king of the (E)Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. 6 So Jotham became mighty, (F)because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 9 (G)So Jotham [b]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then (H)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

Reinado de Jotam
27 (A)Jotam tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre era Jerusa, hija de Sadoc. 2 E hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor, conforme a todo lo que su padre Uzías había hecho; pero no entró en el templo del Señor(B). Y el pueblo seguía corrompiéndose. 3 Él edificó la puerta superior de la casa del Señor, y edificó extensamente en la muralla de Ofel(C). 4 Edificó además ciudades en la región montañosa de Judá(D), y edificó fortalezas y torres en los bosques. 5 También guerreó contra el rey de los amonitas y los venció, y los amonitas le dieron aquel año cien talentos de plata, diez mil coros[a] de trigo y diez mil de cebada. Los amonitas le pagaron también esto en el segundo y en el tercer año. 6 Y Jotam se hizo poderoso porque ordenó sus caminos delante del Señor su Dios(E). 7 Los demás hechos de Jotam y todas sus guerras y sus obras, he aquí, están escritos en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá(F). 8 Tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalén(G). 9 Y durmió Jotam con sus padres, y lo sepultaron en la ciudad de David; y su hijo Acaz reinó en su lugar.
