2 Chronicles 27

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

בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה יֹותָם בְּמָלְכֹו וְשֵׁשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו יְרוּשָׁה בַּת־צָדֹוק׃ (5665)

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה עֻזִּיָּהוּ אָבִיו רַק לֹא־בָא אֶל־הֵיכַל יְהוָה וְעֹוד הָעָם מַשְׁחִיתִים׃ (3597)

3He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

הוּא בָּנָה אֶת־שַׁעַר בֵּית־יְהוָה הָעֶלְיֹון וּבְחֹומַת הָעֹפֶל בָּנָה לָרֹב׃ (2585)

4Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

וְעָרִים בָּנָה בְּהַר־יְהוּדָה וּבֶחֳרָשִׁים בָּנָה בִּירָנִיֹּות וּמִגְדָּלִים׃ (2054)

5He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

וְהוּא נִלְחַם עִם־מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי־עַמֹּון וַיֶּחֱזַק עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּתְּנוּ־לֹו בְנֵי־עַמֹּון בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא מֵאָה כִּכַּר־כֶּסֶף וַעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים כֹּרִים חִטִּים וּשְׂעֹורִים עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים זֹאת הֵשִׁיבוּ לֹו בְּנֵי עַמֹּון ס וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית׃ (8891)

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

וַיִּתְחַזֵּק יֹותָם כִּי הֵכִין דְּרָכָיו לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו׃ (1590)

7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יֹותָם וְכָל־מִלְחֲמֹתָיו וּדְרָכָיו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה׃ (3814)

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

בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה הָיָה בְמָלְכֹו וְשֵׁשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃ (3713)
