2 Chronicles 27:2-5

2He did what the Lord considered right, as his father Uzziah had done. But unlike his father, he didn’t ⌞illegally⌟ enter the Lord’s temple. Nevertheless, the people continued their corrupt ways.

3Jotham built the Upper Gate of the Lord’s temple and did extensive building of the wall at the Ophel.

4He built cities in the hills of Judah, and he built forts and towers in the wooded areas.

5He fought with the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites gave him 7,500 pounds of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley. The Ammonites gave him the same amount for two more years.
