2 Chronicles 27

Matthew(i) 1 Ioatham was .xxv. yere olde when he beganne to raygne, & raygned .xvi. yere in Ierusalem. Hys mothers name was Ierusah the daughter of Zadoc. 2 And he dyd that pleased the Lorde in all poyntes as dyd hys father Oziah: saue, that he came not to the temple of the Lorde, and that the people dyd yet corrupt them selues. 3 He built the hie gate of the temple of the Lorde, and on the wall Ophel he buylt moche. 4 More ouer he built cytyes in the mountaynes of Iuda, and in the wood countre he built castelles and towres. 5 And he fought wyth the kyng of the children of Ammon, and preuayled agaynst them. And the chyldren of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundred talentes of syluer, & ten thousande quarters of whete and as moche barleye. So moche also dyd the chyldren of Ammon geue hym the seconde yere and the thirde to. 6 And Ioatham became mightie, because he direckthe hys waye before the Lorde hys God. 7 The rest of the actes of Ioatham & all his warres & hys wayes are wrytten in the boke of the kynges of Israel & Iuda. 8 He was .xxv. yere olde when he beganne to raygne, & raygned .xvi. yere in Ierusalem. 9 And when Ioathan was layde to reste with hys fathers, they buryed hym in the cytye of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne raygned in hys steade.
