2 Chronicles 27:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jotham King of Judah

27 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

² He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord in everything, as his father Uzziah had done, but he did not go into the temple of the Lord as Uzziah had done. The people, however, still followed corrupt practices.

³ He built the upper gate of the House of the Lord. He also carried out extensive construction work on the wall of Ophel.
