Context of 2 Kings 15:33
31Now the rest of Pekah’s acts, and everything that he did, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of Israel’s Kings. 32In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah became king. When he was twenty-five years old, he became king [over Judah], and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 34He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with everything that his father Uzziah had done. 35Only [the altars on] the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places [rather than in the temple]. He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord.
