4 He built cities in Judah’s hill country and fortresses and towers in the forests. 5 Jotham conquered the Ammonite king, and the Ammonites gave him 7,500 pounds of silver, 62,000 bushels of wheat, and 10,000 of barley for 3 years. 6 Jotham received all this wealth and power for himself and for the country because he followed the Eternal One, his True God.
