## 2 Chronicles 27 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2. And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
3. He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4. Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5. He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
6. And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7. Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8. He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.

## 2 Chronicles 27 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.
2. Fecitque quod rectum erat coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini: et adhuc populus delinquebat.
3. Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.
4. Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.
5. Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon, et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in tempore illo centum talenta argenti, et decem millia coros tritici, ac totidem coros hordei: hæc ei præbuerunt filii Ammon in anno secundo et tertio.
6. Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.
7. Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.
8. Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.
9. Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.
