¹Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] . His mother’s name also [was] Yerushah [dispossessor] , the daughter of Tzadok [righteous] .

²And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , according to all that his father ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah] did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) . And the people did yet corruptly.

³He built the high gate of the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and on the wall of ‘Ofel [hill] he built much.

⁴Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and in the forests he built castles and towers.

⁵He fought also with the king of the ‘Amon [Inbred] , and prevailed against them. And the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] 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 ‘Amon [Inbred] pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.

⁶So Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

⁷Now the rest of the acts of Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] , and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] .

⁸He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

⁹And Toram [Yehovah is Perfect] slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David [beloved] : and Achaz [he has grasped] his son reigned in his stead.
