旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第27章

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the LORD. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the LORD and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
He built towns in the Judean hills and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
Jotham made war on the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the LORD his God.
The other events in Jotham's reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
历代志下第廿七章   第 27 章 

  代下 27:2> 也许我的四周找不到对我信仰认同的人,我可以怎办? 

  27:2 大致上说来,约坦尚属贤君( 27:6 ),但是百姓“还行邪僻的事”。你所带领的人未必肯效法你的敬虔,但是,也不应当影响你为神而活的心志。在以赛亚书 1-5 章之中鲜明地描绘出约坦的王国中的罪行。 

  代下 27:5> 约坦因行正道,而蒙神祝福…… 

  27:5 约坦所得到的贡物,等于 3430 公斤白银,大麦与小麦各 220 万公升。──《灵修版圣经注释》
