2 Chronicles 27:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
27 1 Jotham reigned, and overcometh the Ammonites. 8 His reign and death. 9 Ahaz his son reigneth in his stead.
1 Jotham (A)was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did uprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did, save that he entered not into the [a]Temple of the Lord, and the people did yet [b]corrupt their ways.
3 He built the high [c]gate of the house of the Lord, and he built very much on the wall of the castle.
