II Kings 15 Jotham King of Judah

 II Kings 15

Jotham King of 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. His mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Only the high places were not taken down, because the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord.

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 the Lord began to send against Judah Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
