2 Chronicles 27 (WEBP)

^[1] Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
^[2] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
^[3] He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
^[4] Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
^[5] He also fought 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, ten thousand cors° of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley.° The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
^[6] So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
^[7] Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
^[8] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
^[9] Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

2 Chronicles 27:5a A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds
2 Chronicles 27:5b 1 cor is the same as a homer, or about 55.9 U. S. gallons (liquid) or 211 liters or 6 bushels. 10,000 cors of wheat would weigh about 1,640 metric tons.
2 Chronicles 27:5c 10,000 cors of barley would weigh about 1,310 metric tons.

2 Chronicles 27 (KJVS)

^[1] Jotham H3147 [was] twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389. His mother’s H517 name H8034 also [was] Jerushah H3388, the daughter H1323 of Zadok H6659.
^[2] And he did H6213 (8799) [that which was] right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, according to all that his father H1 Uzziah H5818 did H6213 (8804): howbeit he entered H935 (8804) not into the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068. And the people H5971 did yet corruptly H7843 (8688).
^[3] He built H1129 (8804) the high H5945 gate H8179 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and on the wall H2346 of Ophel H6077 he built H1129 (8804) much H7230.
^[4] Moreover he built H1129 (8804) cities H5892 in the mountains H2022 of Judah H3063, and in the forests H2793 he built H1129 (8804) castles H1003 and towers H4026.
^[5] He fought H3898 (8738) also with the king H4428 of the Ammonites H5984, and prevailed H2388 (8799) against them. And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 gave H5414 (8799) him the same year H8141 an hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver H3701, and ten H6235 thousand H505 measures H3734 of wheat H2406, and ten H6235 thousand H505 of barley H8184. So much did the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 pay H7725 (8689) unto H2063 him, both the second H8145 year H8141, and the third H7992.
^[6] So Jotham H3147 became mighty H2388 (8691), because he prepared H3559 (8689) his ways H1870 before H6440 the LORD H3068 his God H430.
^[7] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jotham H3147, and all his wars H4421, and his ways H1870, lo, they [are] written H3789 (8803) in the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063.
^[8] He was five H2568 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and reigned H4427 (8804) sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389.
^[9] And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 (8799) with his fathers H1, and they buried H6912 (8799) him in the city H5892 of David H1732: and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (8799) in his stead.

^[4] and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces and towers.
^[5] And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him both in the second year, and in the third.
^[6] And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah his God.
