- 約坦登基的時候、年二十五歲、在耶路撒冷作王十六年．他母親名叫耶路沙、是撒督的女兒。
- 約坦行耶和華眼中看為正的事、效法他父烏西雅一切所行的、只是不入耶和華的殿。百姓還行邪僻的事。
- 約坦建立耶和華殿的上門．在俄斐勒城上多有建造。
- 又在猶大山地建造城邑、在樹林中建築營寨、和高樓。
- 約坦與亞捫人的王打仗勝了他們．當年他們進貢銀一百他連得、小麥一萬歌珥、大麥一萬歌珥、第二年、第三年、也是這樣。

- Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.
- He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the LORD. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices.
- Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the LORD and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
- He built towns in the Judean hills and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
- Jotham made war on the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
