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 was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
[2] And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly.
[3] He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
[4] Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
[5] He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
[6] So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
[7] Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
[8] He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
[9] And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
