Expanded Bible

Jotham King of Judah^(A)

³² Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah during the second year Pekah son of Remaliah was king of Israel. ³³ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ·ruled [reigned] sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. ³⁴ Jotham did ·what the Lord said was right [^Lright in the eyes/sight of the Lord], just as his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ But the ·places where gods were worshiped [^Lhigh places; 12:3] were not removed, and the people still made sacrifices and burned incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord.

³⁶ The other things Jotham did while he was king ·are [^Lare they not…?] written in the book of the ·history [chronicles; annals; 1:18] of the kings of Judah. ³⁷ At that time the Lord began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah. ³⁸ Jotham ·died [^Llay down/^Tslept with his fathers/ancestors] and was buried with his ·ancestors [fathers] in the City of David [^CJerusalem], his ·ancestor [father]. Then Jotham’s son Ahaz became king in his place.
