1 Jothamwas twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalemsixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah27:1 Jerushah is a variant of Jerusha; see 2 Kings 15:33.daughter of Zadok. 2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah27:2 Uzziah is also called Azariah; see 2 Kings 14:21.had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel. 4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonitesand defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talentsof silver,27:5 100 talents is approximately 3.77 tons or 3.42 metric tons of silver.ten thousand corsof wheat,27:5 10,000 cors is approximately 62,400 bushels or 2.2 million liters (probably about 1,920 tons or 1,740 metric tons of wheat).and ten thousand corsof barley.27:5 10,000 cors is approximately 62,400 bushels or 2.2 million liters (probably about 1,450 tons or 1,315 metric tons of barley).They paid him the same in the second and third years. 6 So Jothamgrew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalemsixteen years. 9 And Jothamrested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahazreigned in his place.
