The Scriptures 1998

2 Chronicles 27:3-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. He built the Upper Gate of the House of יהוה, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.

4. And he built cities in the hill country of Yehuḏah, and in the forests he built palaces and towers.

5. And he fought with the sovereign of the Ammonites and prevailed over them. And the children of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This is what the children of Ammon paid him, also in the second and third years.

6. And Yotham strengthened himself, for he prepared his ways before יהוה his Elohim.

7. And the rest of the acts of Yotham, and all his battles and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl and Yehuḏah.

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

9. So Yotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of Dawiḏ. And his son Aḥaz reigned in his place.
