Context of 2 Chronicles 27:6

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. Jotham grew powerful because he was determined to live as the Lord his God wanted. 7Everything else about Jotham—all his wars and his life—is written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. 8He was 25 years old when he began to rule as king. He ruled for 16 years in Jerusalem.
