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 [L right in the eyes/sight of the Lord], just as his father Uzziah had done. 35 But the ·places where gods were worshiped [L high places; 12:3] were not removed, and the people still made sacrifices and burned incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord.
36 The other things Jotham did while he was king ·are [L are 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 [L lay down/T slept with his fathers/ancestors] and was buried with his ·ancestors [fathers] in the City of David [C Jerusalem], his ·ancestor [father]. Then Jotham’s son Ahaz became king in his place.

Jotham over Judah
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of [a]Uzziah king of Judah became king. 33 (A)He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. 34 (B)He did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he acted in accordance with everything that his father Uzziah had done. 35 Only (C)the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. (D)He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord. 36 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jotham which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 37 In those days (E)the Lord began to send Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38 And Jotham [b]lay down with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place.
