The sons of Ammon also brought back to him this amount in the second and in the third year. 6 (A)So Jotham became strong because he established his ways before Yahweh his God. 7 (B)Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, even all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
