2 Chronicles 27:2-4

The Voice

² He followed the Eternal as his father had at the beginning of his reign, but he did not enter the Eternal’s temple. In spite of his devotion, the people continued in corrupt lifestyles. ³ He built the upper gate of the Eternal’s temple and the large wall of Ophel (the southern hill on the temple mount). ⁴ He built cities in Judah’s hill country and fortresses and towers in the forests.
