[:en]Thoughts from 2 Chronicles 27[:]

[:en]Jotham succeeded Uzziah as king at 25 and he reigned for 16 years.  He did right in the eyes of the Lord.  He rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple and built towns in Judean hills and fortress.  Jotham made war with King of Ammon and conquered them so the Ammonites had to pay tribute to him.   Jotham grew more powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord.  He rested and Ahz, his sons succeeded him as king.[:]
