32 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel reigned hath Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah. 33 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother 'is' Jerusha daughter of Zadok, 34 and he doth that which 'is' right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did he hath done. 35 Only, the high places have not turned aside—yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places; he hath built the high gate of the house of Jehovah. 36 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 37 In those days hath Jehovah begun to send against Judah Rezin king of Amram and Pekah son of Remaliah. 38 And Jotham lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.

(Read 2 Kings 15:32-38)
Jotham showed great respect to the temple. If magistrates cannot do all they would, for the suppressing of vice and profaneness, let them do the more to support and advance piety and virtue.
