II Chronicles 27 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs Douay-Rheims
II Chronicles 27
1Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.
3He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.
4Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.
6And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
7Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.

4Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.
5He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
