This revolt he firmly repressed; and, to punish it, he exacted a high rate of tribute for the three years following the termination of the war. The productiveness of the Ammonite country in grain, which is here indicated, has been remarked upon as extraordinary by modern travelers.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 5<\/span>.

He fought also with the king ofthe Ammonites<\/B>This invasion he not only repelled, but, pursuingthe Ammonites into their own territory, he imposed on them a yearlytribute, which, for two years, they paid. But when Rezin, king ofSyria, and Pekah, king of Israel, combined to attack the kingdom ofJudah, they took the opportunity of revolting, and Jotham was toodistracted by other matters to attempt the reconquest (see on 2Ki15:37<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them<\/strong>,…. These were brought into subjection by David; but in later times endeavoured to cast off the yoke, and even invaded the land of Judah, as in the days of Jehoshaphat, and now in the reign of Jotham, but succeeded not, see Am 1:13<\/span><\/p>\n and the children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver<\/strong>; he obliged them to pay this tribute annually, and which they began to pay in the present year, and amounted to 35,330 pounds,<\/p>\n and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley<\/strong>; the measure here is the “cor”, the same with the “homer”; which, according to Godwin h, held forty five gallons, or five bushels and five gallons, so that there must be upwards of 50,000 bushels of each of these paid to Jotham; according to Bishop Cumberland i, a “cor”, or “homer”, held seventy five wine gallons, and upwards of five pints:<\/p>\n so much did the children of Ammon pay both the second year and the third<\/strong>; the two following years as well as the present one; why this tribute was not continued to be paid cannot be said with certainty, whether the Ammonites refused and revolted, and could not be obliged, or whether the agreement was only for three years.<\/p>\n h Moses & Aaron, l. 6. c. 9. i Scripture Weights and Measures, ch. 3. p. 86.<\/p>\n He made war upon the king of the Ammonites, and overcame them. The Ammonites had before paid tribute to Uzziah. After his death they would seem to have refused to pay this tribute; and Jotham made them again tributary by force of arms. They were compelled to pay him after their defeat, in that same year, 100 talents of silver, 10,000 cor of wheat, and a similar quantity of barley, as tribute. : this they brought to him again, i.e., they paid him the same amount as tribute in the second and third years of their subjection also. After three years, consequently, they would seem to have again become independent, or refused the tribute, probably in the last years of Jotham, in which, according to 2Ki 15:37<\/span>, the Syrian king Rezin and Pekah of Israel began to make attacks upon Judah. <\/p>\n 2Ch 27:6-7<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/strong> By all these undertakings Jotham strengthened himself, sc. in the kingdom, i.e., he attained to greater power, because he made his ways firm before Jahve, i.e., walked stedfastly before Jahve; did not incur guilt by falling away into idolatry, or by faithless infringement of the rights of the Lord (as Uzziah did by his interference with the rights of the priesthood). From the in the concluding remark (2Ch 27:7<\/span>) we learn that he had waged still other successful wars. The older commentators reckon among these wars, the war against Rezin and Pekah, which kings the Lord began in his days to send against Judah (see 2Ki 15:37<\/span>), but hardly with justice. The position of this note, which is altogether omitted in the Chronicle, at the end of the account of Jotham in 2Ki 15:37<\/span>, appears to hint that this war broke out only towards the end of Jotham’s reign, so that he could not undertake anything important against this foe. <\/p>\n 2Ch 27:8-9<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/strong> The repetition of the chronological statement already given in 2Ch 27:1<\/span> is probably to be explained by supposing that two authorities, each of which contained this remark, were used.<\/p>\n (5) He fought also with the king of the Ammonites.<\/strong>He<\/em> also, like his father, fought with the king of the sons of Ammon. They no doubt had refused the tribute imposed on them by Uzziah; but Jotham quelled their resistance, and they paid him a fixed contribution for three successive years.<\/p>\n The same year.<\/strong>In that year;<\/em> the year of the revolt.<\/p>\n Ten thousand measures.<\/strong>Krm.<\/em> The kor<\/em> was perhaps equivalent to our quarter.<\/em> (Comp. 1Ki. 4:22<\/span>; 2Ch. 2:10<\/span>.)<\/p>\n The land of Ammon is fertile of grain even at the present day.<\/p>\n So much . . . and the third.<\/strong>Rather, This<\/em> (tribute) did the bn Ammon restore to him<\/em> (i.e.,<\/em> after withholding it during the year of rebellion); and in<\/em> the second year, and the third.<\/em> After three annual payments, the tribute was again suspended, perhaps because the Ammonites took advantage of the outbreak of the Syro-Ephraite war, which took place towards the end of the reign (2Ki. 15:37<\/span>).
