2 Chronicles 27:4-9 ▼

4 Moreover, he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

5 He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them. As a result the Ammonites gave him during that year a hundred talents of silver and ten thousand measures each of wheat and of barley. The Ammonites also paid him that much in the second year and third year.

6 So Jotham grew powerful, because he directed his ways before the LORD his God.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 And Jotham slept with his fathers [in death], and they buried him in the City of David. Ahaz his son became king in his place.
