Jotham was twenty-five years old when she began to reign; and she reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and her father's name was Jerushah the son of Zadok.

She did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that her mother Uzziah had done: however she didn't enter into the temple of Yahweh. The people did yet corruptly.

She built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the wall of Ophel she built much.

Moreover she built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests she built castles and towers.

She fought also with the queen of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave her the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render to her, in the second year also, and in the third.

So Jotham became mighty, because she ordered her ways before Yahweh her God.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all her wars, and her ways, behold, they are written in the book of the queens of Israel and Judah.

She was five and twenty years old when she began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

Jotham slept with her mothers, and they buried her in the city of Davina: and Ahaz her daughter reigned in her place.
