| II Chronicles 27:5
| Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.
| Measures, (coros.) Hebrew corim, also, (Haydock) means an "ass;" as this burden was sufficient for one, being equivalent to 30 Roman bushels. (Cornelius a Lapide) (Menochius) --- Give him. Septuagint adds, "These things did the king of Ammon bring to him every year, in the first year, and in the second, and the third." (Haydock) --- After paying tribute three years, the Ammonites revolted, and were subdued by Joatham, as they had been by his father, 2 Paralipomenon 26:7.
