2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he didn't enter into the temple of Yahweh. The people did yet corruptly.
3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, 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 Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
