역대하 27장 [RSV]

1. 1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mothers name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2. 2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzziah had done -- only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

3. 3 He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did much building on the wall of Ophel.

4. 4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.

5. 5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.

6. 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

7. 7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

8. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9. 9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
