VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joatham cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Jerusa filia Sadoc.	1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother was named Jerusa, daughter of Zadok.
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.	2 He pleased the LORD just as his father Uzziah had done, though he did not enter the temple of the LORD; the people, however, continued to act sinfully.
3 Ipse ædificavit portam domus Domini excelsam, et in muro Ophel multa construxit.	3 He built the upper gate of the LORD'S house and had much construction done on the wall of Ophel.
4 Urbes quoque ædificavit in montibus Juda, et in saltibus castella et turres.	4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forest land he set up fortresses and towers.
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.	5 He fought with the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him one hundred talents of silver, together with ten thousand kors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. They brought the same to him also in the second and in the third year.
6 Corroboratusque est Joatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.	6 Thus Jotham continued to grow strong because he lived resolutely in the presence of the LORD, his God.
7 Reliqua autem sermonum Joatham, et omnes pugnæ ejus et opera, scripta sunt in libro regum Israël et Juda.	7 The rest of the acts of Jotham, his wars and his activities, can be found written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem.	8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Dormivitque Joatham cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David : et regnavit Achaz filius ejus pro eo.	9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David, and his son Ahaz succeeded him as king.
