Шаблон:Anchor Jotham, king of Judah (27:1–9)
Jotham receives positive judgment for his reign (cf. 2 Kings 15), repeating the praise for Uzziah (2 Chronicles 25:2) with the addition of 'only he did not invade the temple of the LORD' (verse 2), and therefore was rewarded threefold (verses. 3–6):
- (1) He was able to build various kinds of fortresses in Judah, as well as the upper gate of the Temple and the wall of Ophel.
- (2) He defeated the Ammonites.
- (3) He got an extremely high tribute from the Ammonites for the period of three years.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Because of Jotham's good behavior towards God, Rezin and Pekah could not threaten Judah during Jotham's reign.Шаблон:Sfn
Verse 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]
- Cross references: 2 Kings 15:33; Шаблон:Bibleverse
- "16 years": according to Thiele's chronology, Jotham started to reign at the age of 25 in co-regency with his father, Uzziah (57 years old), around April 750 BCE, and became a sole king between September 740 BCE and September 739 BCE, after Uzziah's death (68 years old).Шаблон:Sfn Jotham transferred the throne to his son, Ahaz, around September 735 BCE to conclude his reign for a total of 16 years.Шаблон:Sfn However, Jotham seems to hold some state functions until April 731 BCE, while Ahaz officially was on the throne, resulting a phrase "in the 20th year of Jothan") in the synchronization with the reign of Hosea in the kingdom of Israel (verse Шаблон:Bibleverse), despite the official count of 16 years of Jotham's reign.Шаблон:Sfn Jotham died between September 732 BCE and September 732 BCE.Шаблон:Sfn A royal bulla (seal) with the inscription: "Belonging to Ahaz (son of) Yehotam (=Jotham), King of Judah" was discovered and authenticated.[3]
- "Jerushah": written as "Jerusha" in 15:33.[4]
Verse 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.[5]
- "100 talents": About 3¾ tons, or 3.4 metric tons.[6] A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms.[7] The term "talent" is used to translate the Hebrew word Шаблон:Lang (kikkar, meaning "circle") generally referring to "something that is round", or a 'disk-shaped weight made of the metal" and, by extension, to a standard unit of weight.[8]
- "Measures" from Hebrew kor or cor, each was about 6 bushels or 220 liters.[9]
