2 Chronicles chapter 27
story of King Jotham
Raynette K. Weiss Ministries run by Our Lord, and on earth by Rev. Raynette K. Weiss and Assistant Minister Jessie K. Weiss invite you to 2 Chronicles chapters 25 to 29. Thursday August 10, 2023.
Jotham King of Judah
27 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled 16 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 Jotham did what the Lord said was right. He obeyed God just as his father Uzziah had done. But Jotham did not enter the Temple of the Lord to burn incense as his father had. But the people continued doing wrong. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Temple of the Lord. He did much building on the wall at the place named Ophel. 4 He also built towns in the hill country of Judah. And he built walled cities and towers in the forests.
5 Jotham also fought the king of the Ammonite people. And Jotham defeated the Ammonites. So each year for three years they gave Jotham about 7,500 pounds of silver. They also gave him about 62,000 bushels of wheat and about 62,000 bushels of barley. 6 Jotham became powerful because he always obeyed the Lord his God.
7 The other things Jotham did while he was king and all his wars are written down. They are in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. And he ruled 16 years in Jerusalem. 9 Jotham died and was buried in Jerusalem. And Jotham’s son Ahaz became king in his place.
Summary; Jotham seems to start well and finish well.
V 6 Jotham grew powerful because he walked right before the Lord his God while he was the king of Jerusalem.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father, thank You for the truth of Your Word. I pray that my heart may be completely Yours so that I may be made into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Prayer of Salvation to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
