2Ch 27 (King James)

¹ Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
² And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
³ He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
⁴ Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
⁵ He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
⁶ So Jotham became mighty, 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, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
⁸ He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
⁹ And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Règne de Jotham

¹ Jotham avait 25 ans lorsqu'il devint roi et il régna 16 ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s'appelait Jerusha et c'était la fille de Tsadok.
² Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Eternel, entièrement comme l'avait fait son père Ozias, mais sans pénétrer dans le temple de l'Eternel. Toutefois, le peuple continuait à se corrompre.
³ Jotham construisit la porte supérieure de la maison de l'Eternel et il fit beaucoup de constructions sur les murailles de la colline de l'Ophel.
⁴ Il construisit des villes dans la montagne de Juda, ainsi que des forteresses et des tours dans les bois.
⁵ Il fut en guerre contre le roi des Ammonites et il l'emporta sur eux. Les Ammonites lui donnèrent cette année-là 3 tonnes d'argent, 2'200'000 litres de blé et 2'200'000 litres d'orge. Ils lui en payèrent autant les deuxième et troisième années.
⁶ Jotham devint puissant parce qu'il marcha avec persévérance devant l'Eternel, son Dieu.
⁷ Le reste des actes de Jotham, toutes ses guerres et tout ce qu'il a fait, est décrit dans les annales des rois d'Israël et de Juda.
⁸ Il avait 25 ans lorsqu'il devint roi et il régna 16 ans à Jérusalem.
⁹ Jotham se coucha avec ses ancêtres et on l'enterra dans la ville de David. Son fils Achaz devint roi à sa place.

2Ch 27 (Vulgate)

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.
