1 בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה יֹותָם בְּמָלְכֹו וְשֵׁשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו יְרוּשָׁה בַּת־צָדֹוק1 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 וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה עֻזִּיָּהוּ אָבִיו רַק לֹא־בָא אֶל־הֵיכַל יְהוָה וְעֹוד הָעָם מַשְׁחִיתִים2 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 הוּא בָּנָה אֶת־שַׁעַר בֵּית־יְהוָה הָעֶלְיֹון וּבְחֹומַת הָעֹפֶל בָּנָה לָרֹב3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 וְעָרִים בָּנָה בְּהַר־יְהוּדָה וּבֶחֳרָשִׁים בָּנָה בִּירָנִיֹּות וּמִגְדָּלִים4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 וְהוּא נִלְחַם עִם־מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי־עַמֹּון וַיֶּחֱזַק עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּתְּנוּ־לֹו בְנֵי־עַמֹּון בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא מֵאָה כִּכַּר־כֶּסֶף וַעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים כֹּרִים חִטִּים וּשְׂעֹורִים עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים זֹאת הֵשִׁיבוּ לֹו בְּנֵי עַמֹּון ס וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית5 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 וַיִּתְחַזֵּק יֹותָם כִּי הֵכִין דְּרָכָיו לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7 וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יֹותָם וְכָל־מִלְחֲמֹתָיו וּדְרָכָיו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה7 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 בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה הָיָה בְמָלְכֹו וְשֵׁשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם8 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 וַיִּשְׁכַּב יֹותָם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתֹו בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָחָז בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ פ9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
