2 Chronicles 27:4 In-Context

2 Jotham did what the Lord said was right, just as his father Uzziah had done. But Jotham did not enter the Temple of the Lord to burn incense as his father had. But the people continued doing wrong.

3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Temple of the Lord, and he added greatly to the wall at Ophel.

4 He also built towns in the hill country of Judah, as well as walled cities and towers in the forests.

5 Jotham also fought the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. So each year for three years they gave Jotham about seventy-five hundred pounds of silver, about sixty-two thousand bushels of wheat, and about sixty-two thousand bushels of barley.

6 Jotham became powerful, because he always obeyed the Lord his God.
