2 Kings 15:32-38

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jotham Son of Uzziah, King of Judah

³² In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah became king. ³³ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.

³⁴ He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like everything that his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ But the high places were still not removed. The people were still offering sacrifices and burning incense on the high places. He built the upper gate for the House of the Lord.

³⁶ As for the rest of Jotham’s acts, the things he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? ³⁷ In those days, the Lord began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah. ³⁸ Jotham rested with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David. Then his son Ahaz became king in his place.
