2 A nd he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly.

3 H e built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Também edificou cidades na região montanhosa de Judá, e castelos e torres nos bosques.

5 H e fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

Guerreou contra o rei dos amonitas e prevaleceu sobre eles; de modo que os amonitas naquele ano lhe deram cem talentos de prata, dez mil coros de trigo e dez mil de cevada. Isso lhe trouxeram os amonitas também no segundo e no terceiro ano.

6 S o Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God.

Assim Jotão se tornou poderoso, porque dirigiu os seus caminhos na presença do Senhor seu Deus.

7 N ow the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Ora, o restante dos atos de Jotão, e todas as suas guerras e os seus caminhos, eis que estão escritos no livro dos reis de Israel e de Judá.
