2 Kings 15:32-38

The Reign of Jotham

³² In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel , Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah became king . ³³ He was twenty-five e years old when he became king , and he reigned sixteen e years in Jerusalem ; and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok . ³⁴ He did what was right in the sight of the Lord ; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done . ³⁵ Only the high places were not taken away ; 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 e of the Kings of Judah ? ³⁷ In those days the Lord began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah . ³⁸ And Jotham slept with his fathers , and he was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father ; and Ahaz his son became king in his place .
