2 Kings 15:32-38

International Standard Version

Jotham’s Reign over Judah

³² Uzziah’s son Jotham became king over Judah during the second year of the reign of^[a] Remaliah’s son Pekah, king of Israel. ³³ He was 25 years old when he became king. He reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. Zadok’s daughter Jerusha was his mother. ³⁴ He did what the Lord considered to be right, following everything his father Uzziah had done, ³⁵ except the high places were not torn down, and the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. But he rebuilt the upper gate of the Lord’s Temple. ³⁶ The rest of Jotham’s activities, including everything that he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, are they not?

³⁷ Right about that time, the Lord began to send King Rezin of Aram and Remaliah’s son Pekah against Judah. ³⁸ Meanwhile, Jotham died, as did^[b] his ancestors, and was buried with them^[c] in the City of David, his ancestor. Then Jotham’s son Ahaz reigned in his place.
