Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Joatham was twenty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerusa. She was a daughter of Sadok. ² And he did that which was right in| the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias had done; but he did not go into the temple of the Lord. Though the people were still corrupt, ³ he built the high gate of the house of the Lord; and on the wall Opel he built much. ⁴ On Mount Juda and in the forest, he also built castles and towers. ⁵ He fought the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against him; so that the Ammonites gave him yearly, a hundred talents of silver and ten thousand cores of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the Ammonites brought him yearly, during the first, second and third year. ⁶ Joatham prevailed because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. ⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his wars and his doings, behold they are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. ⁸ [Omitted] ⁹ And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
