Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Jadok.
Jotham did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight. He did everything his father, Uzziah had done, except that Jotham did not sin by entering the Temple of the Lord. But the people continued in their corrupt ways. (vv. 1-2, NLT)
King Jotham became very powerful because he was careful to live in obedience to the Lord his God.
The rest of the events of Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and other activities, are recorded in The Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. He was twenty-five years old when he became king and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. When Jotham died, he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz became the next king. (vv. 6-9, NLT)
