^{1 Ref} Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

^{4 Ref} In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

^{5 Ref} He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

^{4 Ref} and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.

^{5 Ref} And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.

^{6 Ref} And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.

^{7 Ref} And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

^{8 Ref} He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

^{9 Ref} And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
