27:1-4
Jotham became king at the age of twenty five, and he reigned for sixteen years. He “did what was right in the eyes of the Lord”, taking after his father Uzziah, without entering the temple of the Lord. But the people continued “their corrupt practices”. Jotham also rebuilt the Upper Gate, along with other work.
27:5-9
He waged war against the Ammonites and conquered them. He took riches from them. Jotham grew powerful because he followed the Lord. There is no record of him failing in this. He died nd was succeeded by his son Ahaz.
