2 Chronicles 27:1-4 ▼

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

2 He did what the LORD approved, just as his father Uzziah had done. (He did not, however, have the audacity to enter the temple.) Yet the people were still sinning.

3 He built the Upper Gate to the LORD's temple and did a lot of work on the wall in the area known as Ophel.

4 He built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
