2 Chronicles 27
1 Joatham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves. 3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel. 4 In the mountain of Judah, and in the woods, [1]he built both dwelling-places and towers. 5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand [2]measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years. 6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 8 [3]And he was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and sixteen years he reigned in Jerusalem. 9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
