Context of 2 Chronicles 27:6

4And he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 5And he fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. This the children of Ammon brought again to him also in the second year, and in the third. And Jotham became strong, for he prepared his ways before Jehovah his God. 7And 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. 8He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
