am 3246-3262, bc 753-742
**twenty and five:** [2 Kings 15:32](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/32), [2 Kings 15:33-38](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/33-38), [1 Chronicles 3:12](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/3/12), [Isaiah 1:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/1/1), [Hosea 1:1](../../../kjv/hosea/1/1), [Micah 1:1](../../../kjv/micah/1/1), [Matthew 1:9](../../../kjv/matthew/1/9), Joatham
**Reciprocal:** [1 Chronicles 5:17](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/5/17) - Jotham

**And he did:** [2 Chronicles 26:4](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/4), [2 Kings 15:34](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/34)
**he entered not:** He copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and constitutional; and avoided his transgression. [2 Chronicles 26:16-21](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/16-21), [Psalms 119:120](../../../kjv/psalms/119/120), [Acts 5:13](../../../kjv/acts/5/13)
**the people:** [2 Kings 15:35](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/35)
**Reciprocal:** [Nehemiah 1:7](../../../kjv/nehemiah/1/7) - corruptly [Isaiah 2:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/8) - is full

**high gate:** [2 Chronicles 23:20](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/23/20), [Jeremiah 20:2](../../../kjv/jeremiah/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." [2 Chronicles 33:14](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/33/14), [Nehemiah 3:26](../../../kjv/nehemiah/3/26), [Nehemiah 3:27](../../../kjv/nehemiah/3/27)
**Reciprocal:** [2 Kings 15:35](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/35) - the higher gate [Nehemiah 11:21](../../../kjv/nehemiah/11/21) - the [Ezekiel 9:2](../../../kjv/ezekiel/9/2) - the higher

**he built cities:** [2 Chronicles 11:5-10](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/11/5-10), [2 Chronicles 14:7](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/14/7), [2 Chronicles 26:9](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/9), [2 Chronicles 26:10](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/10)
**the mountains:** [Joshua 14:12](../../../kjv/joshua/14/12), [Joshua 14:13](../../../kjv/joshua/14/13), [Luke 1:39](../../../kjv/luke/1/39)
**castles and towers:** These castles and towers he doubtless built built for the protection of the country people against marauders.
**Reciprocal:** [2 Kings 15:36](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/36) - the rest [2 Chronicles 17:12](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/17/12) - in Judah [Jeremiah 34:7](../../../kjv/jeremiah/34/7) - for [Hosea 8:14](../../../kjv/hosea/8/14) - and Judah

**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. [2 Chronicles 20:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/20/1), [Judges 11:4-33](../../../kjv/judges/11/4-33), [2 Samuel 10:1-14](../../../kjv/2-samuel/10/1-14), [Jeremiah 49:1-6](../../../kjv/jeremiah/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
**Reciprocal:** [1 Chronicles 19:6](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/19/6) - a thousand

**Jotham:** [2 Chronicles 26:5](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/5)
**prepared:** or, established, [2 Chronicles 19:3](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/19/3)

**Now the rest:** [2 Chronicles 20:34](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/20/34), [2 Chronicles 26:22](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/22), [2 Chronicles 26:23](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/23), [2 Chronicles 32:32](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/32/32), [2 Chronicles 32:33](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/32/33), am 3262, bc 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.
**Reciprocal:** [2 Chronicles 16:11](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/16/11) - Judah [2 Chronicles 28:26](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/28/26) - the rest
