“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.”
Ammonic tributary — 'He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. The Ammonites gave him that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years' (וַיִּלָּחֶם עִם־מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי־עַמּוֹן וַיֶּחֱזַק עָלֵיהֶם וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ בְנֵי־עַמּוֹן בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא מְאָה כִכַּר כֶּסֶף וַעֲשֶׁרֶת אֲלָפִים כוֹר חִטִּים וַעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים כוֹר שְׂעוֹרִים). Jotham's military success brings Ammonite tribute of silver, wheat, and barley, continuing for three years. The substantial tribute indicates economic prosperity.
