And he did 2Chr 26:4; 2Kgs 15:34
he entered not He copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and constitutional; and avoided his transgression. 2Chr 26:16-21; Ps 119:120; Acts 5:13

high gate 2Chr 23:20; Jer 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." 2Chr 33:14; Neh 3:26-27
4
he built cities 2Chr 11:5-10, 2Chr 14:7, 2Chr 26:9-10
the mountains Josh 14:12-13; Luke 1:39
castles and towers These castles and towers he doubtless built built for the protection of the country people against marauders.
5
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. 2Chr 20:1; Judg 11:4-33; 2Sam 10:1-14; Jer 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.
