2 Chronicles 27

Jotham son of Uzziah did what was right in the sight of YHWH, following his father's good ways but not entering the temple of YHWH to burn incense as Uzziah had done in pride.[1][2] He built the upper gate of the house of YHWH, fortified the wall of Ophel, erected cities in Judah, and prevailed against the Ammonites who paid him tribute for three years, becoming mighty because he prepared his ways before YHWH his God, though the people continued acting corruptly.[1][2][4]
