Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 26
²¹ King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in a separate house, being a leper, for he was cut off from the house of the Lord. And Jotham his son was over the king’s house judging the people of the land.
²² Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written.
²³ So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." And Jotham his son became king in his place.
2 Chronicles 27
¹ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
² He did right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; however he did not enter the temple of the Lord. But the people continued acting corruptly.
³ He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively the wall of Ophel.
⁴ Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built fortresses and towers on the wooded hills.
⁵ He fought also with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them so that the Ammonites gave him during that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites also paid him this amount in the second and in the third year.
⁶ So Jotham became mighty because he ordered his ways before the Lord his God.
⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, even all his wars and his acts, behold, 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.
