- Двадцати пяти лет [был] Иоафам, когда воцарился, и шестнадцать лет царствовал в Иерусалиме; имя матери его Иеруша, дочь Садока.
- И делал он угодное в очах Господних точно так, как делал Озия, отец его, только он не входил в храм Господень, и народ продолжал еще грешить.
- Он построил верхние ворота дома Господня, и многое построил на стене Офела;
- и города построил на горе Иудейской, и в лесах построил дворцы и башни.
- Он воевал с царем Аммонитян и одолел их, и дали ему Аммонитяне в тот год сто талантов серебра и десять тысяч коров пшеницы и ячменя десять тысяч. Это давали ему Аммонитяне и на другой год, и на третий.

- 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.
