32 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. |
33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. |
34 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD , just as his father Uzziah had done. |
35 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the LORD . |
36 As for the other events of Jotham's reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of 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 was buried with them in the City of David, the city of his father. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king. |
