⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. ⁸ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. ^9 (A)So Jotham ^[a]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then ^(B)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

Ahaz Reigns in Judah^(A)

28 Ahaz ^(B)was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David had done. ² For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made ^(C)molded images for ^(D)the Baals. ³ He burned incense in ^(E)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned ^(F)his children in the ^(G)fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had ^(H)cast out before the children of Israel. ⁴ And he sacrificed and burned incense on the ^[a]high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
