5 He subdues the Ammonites.
7 His reign and death; Ahaz succeeds him.
VERSE 1
- A.M. 3246-3262. B.C. 753-742. twenty and five.
* 2Ki 15:32,33-38 1Ch 3:12 Isa 1:1 Ho 1:1 Mic 1:1 Mt 1:9
- Joatham.
VERSE 2

He copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and
constitutional; and avoided his transgression.
* 2Ch 26:16-21 Ps 120 119:120 Ac 5:13

VERSE 3
- high gate.
* 2Ch 23:20 Jer 20:2
- Ophel. or, the tower.
"The wall," says the Targum, "of the interior palace." {Ophel}
appears to have been a tower, or fort, on the city wall, in
which we read "the Nehthinim dwelt."
* 2Ch 33:14 Ne 3:26,27
VERSE 4
- he built cities.
* 2Ch 11:5-10; 14:7; 26:9,10
- the mountains.
* Jos 14:12,13 Lu 1:39
- castles and towers.
These castles and towers he doubtless built built for the
protection of the country people against marauders.
VERSE 5
- the king of the Ammonites.
We find here, that he brought the Ammonites under a heavy
tribute for three years; but whether this was the effect of
his prevailing against them, is not so evident. Some think
that they paid this tribute for three years, and then
revolted; that, in consequence, he attacked them, and their
utter subjection was the result.
* 2Ch 20:1 Jud 11:4-33 2Sa 10:1-14 Jer 49:1-6
- ten thousand.
Rather, "ten thousand {cors} (korim) of wheat." The {cor} was
same as the {homer,} and contained about 32 pecks 1 pint.
- So much. Heb. This.
VERSE 6
- Jotham.
* 2Ch 26:5
- prepared. or, established.
* 2Ch 19:3
VERSE 7
- Now the rest.
* 2Ch 20:34; 26:22,23; 32:32,33
- A.M. 3262. B.C. 742. they are written.
There is not so much found in the book of Kings, which we have
now, as here: in both places we have abridged accounts; the
larger histories having been lost.
VERSE 8
- He was.
* :1 2Ki 15:33
VERSE 9
