27 UJothamu+ wayeleminyaka engu-25 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-16. Unina kwakunguJerusha indodakazi kaZadokhi.+
2 UJothamu waqhubeka esenza okulungileyo phambi kukaJehova njengoyise u-Uziya.+ Yena kazange angene endaweni okwakungafanelanga angene kuyo ethempelini likaJehova.+ Kodwa abantu baqhubeka besenza okubi.
3 Wakha igedi lendlu kaJehova elingaphezulu+ njalo wenza umsebenzi omnengi ekwakhiweni komduli we-Ofeli.+
4 Wakha lamadolobho+ ezintabeni zakoJuda,+ lezindawo ezivikelweyo+ kanye lemiphotshongo+ emaguswini.
5 Walwa lenkosi yama-Amoni+ waze wayinqoba. Yikho ngalowomnyaka ama-Amoni amnika amathalenta* esiliva angu-100, lengqoloyi egcwala izilinganiso zamakhori* ezingu-10 000 kanye lebhali egcwala izilinganiso zamakhori ezingu-10 000. Ama-Amoni aqhubeka emnika izinto lezi langomnyaka wesibili lowesithathu.+
6 Ngakho uJothamu waqhubeka esiba lamandla ngoba wayezimisele ukuhamba ezindleleni zikaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.
7 Yonke imbali kaJothamu, okugoqela izimpi azilwayo lalokho akwenzayo kubhaliwe ebhukwini lamakhosi ako-Israyeli lawakoJuda.+
8 Wayeleminyaka engu-25 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema+ okweminyaka engu-16.
9 UJothamu wafa wangcwatshwa edolobheni likaDavida,+ indodana yakhe u-Ahazi yasisiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.+
