2 Chronicles 27:3
俄斐勒乃是一座狹長而略圓的山脊或岬角的名稱,位於耶路撒冷的中央谷(提羅佩安谷,Tyropoeon)與汲淪谷(即約沙法谷)之間。烏西雅和約坦急於鞏固自己的疆土,顯示他們懼怕外來的攻擊;這懼怕在當時大概主要是與撒瑪利亞和亞蘭有關(列王紀下15:37註釋)。那種缺乏信心、倚仗堡壘的態度,受到了當代先知的責備(何西阿書8:14;以賽亞書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
曾臣服於烏西雅的亞捪人(歷代志下26:8)背叛了約坦。約坦堅決鎮壓了這次叛亂;為懲罰起見,在戰爭結束後的三年內,他徵收高額的貢銀。這裏所顯示的亞捪地在穀物方面的豐饒,連近代的旅行者也稱之為非凡。
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.
