Now Jotham the son of Uzziah reigned over the tribe of Judah in Jerusalem,
being a citizen thereof by his mother, whose name was Jerusha. This king
was not defective in any virtue, but was religious towards God, and righteous
towards men, and careful of the good of the city (for what part soever
wanted to be repaired or adorned he magnificently repaired and adorned
them). He also took care of the foundations of the cloisters in the temple,
and repaired the walls that were fallen down, and built very great towers,
and such as were almost impregnable; and if any thing else in his kingdom
had been neglected, he took great care of it. He also made an expedition
against the Ammonites, and overcame them in battle, and ordered them to
pay tribute, a hundred talents, and ten thousand cori of wheat, and as
many of barley, every year, and so augmented his kingdom, that his enemies
could not despise it, and his own people lived happily.
