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.

14:028:003 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
           and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of
           the heathen whom the lord had cast out before the children of
           Israel.

14:028:004 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and
           on the hills, and under every green tree.

14:028:005 Wherefore the lord his God delivered him into the hand of the
           king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great
           multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus.  And
           he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who
           smote him with a great slaughter.

14:028:006 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and
           twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men;
           because they had forsaken the lord God of their fathers.

14:028:007 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s
           son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that
           was next to the king.

14:028:008 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their
           brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and
           took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to
           Samaria.
