2And he didH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, just asH3605 his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 1 had doneH6213. In additionH7535, he did notH3808 enterH935 H413 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068. But the peopleH5971 stillH5750 behaved corruptlyH7843.

3JothamH1931 rebuiltH1129 the UpperH5945 GateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and he workedH1129 extensivelyH7230 on the wallH2346 at the hill of OphelH6077. 4He also builtH1129 citiesH5892 in the hill countryH2022 of JudahH3063 and fortressesH1003 and towersH4026 in the forestsH2793 H1129.

5Jotham waged warH3898 againstH5973 the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121 H5983 and defeated themH2388 H5921, and thatH1931 yearH8141 theyH1121 H5983 gaveH5414 him a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701,2 tenH6235 thousandH505 corsH3734 of wheatH2406,3 and tenH6235 thousandH505 cors of barleyH8184.4 They paidH7725 him the sameH2063 in the secondH8145 and thirdH7992 yearsH8141.
