The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Fecitque, quod rectum erat coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Ozias pater suus, excepto quod non est ingressus templum Domini, et adhuc populus delinquebat.	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 Ipse aedificavit portam domus Domini Superiorem et in muro Ophel multa construxit.	3 He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4 Urbes quoque aedificavit in montibus Iudae et in saltibus castella et turres.	4 Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Ipse pugnavit contra regem filiorum Ammon et vicit eos, dederuntque ei filii Ammon in anno illo centum talenta argenti et decem milia choros tritici ac totidem choros hordei; haec ei praebuerunt filii Ammon etiam in anno secundo et tertio.	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 Corroboratusque est Ioatham, eo quod direxisset vias suas coram Domino Deo suo.	6 And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
