⁵ Then the Lord ^(A)struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his ^(B)death; so he ^(C)dwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal house, judging the people of the land.

⁷ So Azariah ^[a]rested with his fathers, and ^(A)they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.

Jotham Reigns in Judah^(A)

³² In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, ^(B)Jotham the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, began to reign. ³³ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was ^[a]Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. ³⁴ And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did ^(C)according to all that his father Uzziah had done. ^35 (D)However the ^[b]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ^(E)He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.

³⁶ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? ³⁷ In those days the Lord began to send ^(F)Rezin king of Syria and ^(G)Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. ³⁸ So Jotham ^[c]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

Jotham Reigns in Judah^(A)

27 Jotham ^(B)was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was ^[a]Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. ² And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the Lord). But still ^(C)the people acted corruptly.

³ He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of ^(D)Ophel. ⁴ Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. ⁵ He also fought with the king of the ^(E)Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. ⁶ So Jotham became mighty, ^(F)because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are 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 sixteen years in Jerusalem. ^9 (G)So Jotham ^[b]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then ^(H)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
