Compare all

5 He also fought with the king of the ^aAmmonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.

6 So Jotham became mighty, ^abecause he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed 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 sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 ^aSo Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then ^bAhaz his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 27:7

The rest of the acts of Jotham , and all his wars , and his ways - It was in his days, according to II Kings 15:37, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah king of Israel, began to cut Judah short. See the notes on II Kings 15:36, II Kings 15:37.

Written in the book of the kings , etc. - There is not so much found in the books of Kings which we have now, as in this place of the Chronicles. In both places we have abridged accounts only: the larger histories have long been lost. The reign of Jotham was properly the last politically prosperous reign among the Jews. Hezekiah and Josiah did much to preserve the Divine worship; but Judah continued to be cut short, till at last it was wholly ruined.
