4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah (praised) and fortresses and towers in the forests. 5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites (tribal) and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver <3.77 t / 3.42 mt>, ten thousand cors of wheat <62,400 bu / 2.2M l>, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years. 6 So Jotham (YHWH is perfect) grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God {YHWH Elohaw}. 7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham (YHWH is perfect), along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel (he wrestles with God) and Judah (praised). 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem (city of peace) sixteen years. 9 And Jotham (YHWH is perfect) rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David (beloved). And his son Ahaz (he has grasped) reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 27:4-9, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
