2 Chronicles 27:1-3

New English Translation

Jotham’s Reign

27 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother^[a] was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. ² He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Uzziah had done.^[b] (He did not, however, have the audacity to enter the temple.)^[c] Yet the people were still sinning.

³ He built the Upper Gate to the Lord’s temple and did a lot of work on the wall in the area known as Ophel.^[d]
