27:4 Jotham apparently coreigned with his father Uzziah from 750 to 740 BC, the year Uzziah died.
27:5-6 Jotham continued his father’s policy of controlling the Ammonites and carried out a successful military excursion against them. This garnered him a large amount of silver and grain for several years. As usual, these items are mentioned by the Chronicler not so much for their own sake but to show Jotham’s obedience and God’s reward for his faithfulness.
27:7-9 Jotham was a good king who came to the throne early, maintained the kingdom in good condition, was taken for granted by his people, and wound up not leaving much of a legacy. He received an appropriate royal burial, yet his reign served as a transition into a dark time for the kingdom of Judah.
