2 Chronicles 27:2-5
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah1 had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel. 4He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver,2 ten thousand cors of wheat,3 and ten thousand cors of barley.4 They paid him the same in the second and third years.
