2 Chronicles 27:4 In-Context

2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father `Uzziyah had done: however he didn't enter into the temple of the LORD. The people did yet corruptly.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of `Ofel he built much.

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Yehudah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

5 He fought also with the king of the children of `Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of `Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of `Ammon render to him, in the second year also, and in the third.

6 So Yotam became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
