Context — Jotham Reigns in Judah
5Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
6So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.Cross References

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 27:7
(7) And all his wars, and his ways.—See 2 Kings 15:36, “And all that he did.” The chronicler seems to have varied the phrase, in order to hint at the Syro-Ephraite war, mentioned in 2 Kings 15:37.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 27:7
Verse 7. The rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways] It was in his days, according to 2Kg 15:37, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah king of Israel, began to cut Judah short. See the notes on 2Kg 15:36-37. Written in the book of the kings, c.] There is not so much found in the books of Kings which we have now, as in this place of the Chronicles. In both places we have abridged accounts only: the larger histories have long been lost. The reign of Jotham was properly the last politically prosperous reign among the Jews. Hezekiah and Josiah did much to preserve the Divine worship but Judah continued to be cut short, till at last it was wholly ruined.
