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.

Jotham Reigns in Judah
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. 33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. 34 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done. 35 Only the high places were not removed; the people still were sacrificing and offering incense on the high places. He built the upper gate of the temple of Yahweh. 36 Now the remainder of the acts of Jotham which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? 37 (Now, in those days, Yahweh began to send Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.) 38 So Jotham slept with his ancestors[a] and was buried with his ancestors[b] in the city of David his ancestor,[c] and his son Ahaz became king in his place.
