Jotham Reigns 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 sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. ^34 (B)And he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ Only ^(C)the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ^(D)He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh. ³⁶ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ³⁷ In those days ^(E)Yahweh began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. ³⁸ And Jotham slept with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
