旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第27章

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.
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.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
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.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
历代志下第廿七章   第 27 章 

  代下 27:2> 也许我的四周找不到对我信仰认同的人,我可以怎办? 

  27:2 大致上说来,约坦尚属贤君( 27:6 ),但是百姓“还行邪僻的事”。你所带领的人未必肯效法你的敬虔,但是,也不应当影响你为神而活的心志。在以赛亚书 1-5 章之中鲜明地描绘出约坦的王国中的罪行。 

  代下 27:5> 约坦因行正道,而蒙神祝福…… 

  27:5 约坦所得到的贡物,等于 3430 公斤白银,大麦与小麦各 220 万公升。──《灵修版圣经注释》
