2 Chronicles 27:3
俄斐勒是一处狭长、略窄、呈圆形的山嘴或岬角的名称，位于耶路撒冷的中央谷（Tyropoeon，提罗披因谷）与汲沦谷（即约沙法谷）之间。乌西雅和约坦一心加固自己的领土，显示他们惧怕外来攻击；这种惧怕在当时可能主要与撒玛利亚和亚兰有关（参 2 Kings 15:37 的注释）。这种缺乏信心、专赖堡垒的态度，受到当时代先知的斥责（Hosea 8:14; Isaiah 2:15）。
英文原文
Ophel was the name given to the long, narrowish, rounded spur or promontory, which intervenes between the central valley of Jerusalem (the Tyropoeon) and the Kidron, or valley of Jehoshaphat. The anxiety of Uzziah and Jotham to fortify their territory indicates a fear of external attack, which at this time was probably felt mainly in connection with Samaria and Syria (2 Kings 15:37 note). The faithless trust put in fortifications was rebuked by the prophets of the time Hosea 8:14; Isaiah 2:15.

2 Chronicles 27:5
曾臣服于乌西雅的亚扪人（2 Chronicles 26:8）背叛了约坦。约坦坚决镇压了这场叛乱；为惩罚起见，他在战争结束后的三年间征收高额的贡赋。此处所显示的亚扪地谷物的高产，曾被近代旅行家视为非凡而加以记述。
英文原文
The Ammonites, who had submitted to Uzziah 2 Chronicles 26:8, revolted against Jotham. This revolt he firmly repressed; and, to punish it, he exacted a high rate of tribute for the three years following the termination of the war. The productiveness of the Ammonite country in grain, which is here indicated, has been remarked upon as extraordinary by modern travelers.
