2 Chronicles 27:1-4

1Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah as king in Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother's name was Jerusha. She was Zadok's daughter.

2Jotham did things that the Lord said were good, as his father Uzziah had done. But he did not try to go into the Lord's temple and offer incense, as his father had done. But the people continued to do bad things.

3Jotham built the Higher Gate of the Lord's temple. He also did a lot of work to repair the city wall near Ophel hill.

4He built towns in the hill country of Judah. He also built strong buildings and towers in the forests.
