Jotham's Building and Military Success
2 Chronicles 27:3-6
3
He built the Upper Gate of the house of ADONAI and added considerably to the wall of the 'Ofel.
4
He built cities in the hills of Y'hudah, and in the wooded areas he built forts and towers.
5
He fought with the king of the people of 'Amon and defeated them. That year the people of 'Amon paid him tribute of three-and-a-third tons of silver, 50,000 bushels of wheat and 50,000 [bushels] of barley. The people of 'Amon paid him the same amount the second and third years also.
6
Thus Yotam became strong, because he prepared his ways [of doing things] before ADONAI his God.
