5 Prepare [06186] the table [07979], watch [06822] in the watchtower [06844], eat [0398], drink [08354]: arise [06965], ye princes [08269], and anoint [04886] the shield [04043].
7 Thou breakest [07665] the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] with an east [06921] wind [07307].
27 And Hezekiah [03169] had exceeding [03966] much [07235] riches [06239] and honour [03519]: and he made [06213] himself treasuries [0214] for silver [03701], and for gold [02091], and for precious [03368] stones [068], and for spices [01314], and for shields [04043], and for all manner of pleasant [02532] jewels [03627];
28 Storehouses [04543] also for the increase [08393] of corn [01715], and wine [08492], and oil [03323]; and stalls [0723] for all manner of beasts [0929], and cotes [0220] for flocks [05739].
29 Moreover he provided [06213] him cities [05892], and possessions [04735] of flocks [06629] and herds [01241] in abundance [07230]: for God [0430] had given [05414] him substance [07399] very [03966] much [07227].
30 This same Hezekiah [03169] also stopped [05640] the upper [05945] watercourse [04161] [04325] of Gihon [01521], and brought it straight [03474] down [04295] to the west side [04628] of the city [05892] of David [01732]. And Hezekiah [03169] prospered [06743] in all his works [04639].
1 Jotham [03147] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Jerushah [03388], the daughter [01323] of Zadok [06659].
2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] did [06213]: howbeit he entered [0935] not into the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]. And the people [05971] did yet corruptly [07843].
3 He built [01129] the high [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and on the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077] he built [01129] much [07230].
4 Moreover he built [01129] cities [05892] in the mountains [02022] of Judah [03063], and in the forests [02793] he built [01129] castles [01003] and towers [04026].
5 He fought [03898] also with the king [04428] of the Ammonites [05984], and prevailed [02388] against them. And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] gave [05414] him the same year [08141] an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of wheat [02406], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] of barley [08184]. So much did the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] pay [07725] unto [02063] him, both the second [08145] year [08141], and the third [07992].
6 So Jotham [03147] became mighty [02388], because he prepared [03559] his ways [01870] before [06440] the LORD [03068] his God [0430].
7 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jotham [03147], and all his wars [04421], and his ways [01870], lo, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063].
8 He was five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389].
9 And Jotham [03147] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Ahaz [0271] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
32 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] king [04428] of Israel [03478] began Jotham [03147] the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063] to reign [04427].
