14:026:020 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. 14:026:021 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. 14:026:022 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. 14:026:023 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 14:027:001 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. 14:027:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly. 14:027:003 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 14:027:004 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 14:027:005 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third. 14:027:006 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 14:027:007 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 14:027:008 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 14:027:009 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 14:028:001 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: 14:028:002 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
