2 Chronicles 27:1-3

Living Bible

27 Jotham was twenty-five years old at the time he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jerushah, daughter of Zadok. ² He followed the generally good example of his father, Uzziah—who had, however, sinned by invading the Temple—but even so his people became very corrupt.

³ He built the Upper Gate of the Temple and also did extensive rebuilding of the walls on the hill where the Temple was situated.
