This reflects the common biblical practice of summarizing a king's reign while pointing to other sources for more comprehensive details.<p><b>along with all his wars and his ways</b><br>Jotham's reign was marked by military campaigns and construction projects, including fortifying cities and building towers. His military actions were significant in maintaining the security and stability of Judah during his time.

This practice of referencing other works underscores the historical nature of the biblical accounts and the importance of written records in ancient times.
