Context of 2 Chronicles 27:6

4He also built towns in the Judean hills and forts and towers in the forests. 5Jotham also fought the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. That year the Ammonites paid him 100 talents of silver, 10,000 measures of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years. Jotham became powerful because he ordered his ways before Adonai his God. 7Now 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 25 years old when he became king and reigned 16 years in Jerusalem.
