2 Kings 15:32-38

32Uzziah's son Jotham became the king of Judah when Remaliah's son Pekah had been king of Israel for two years.

33Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah as king in Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother's name was Jerusha. She was Zadok's daughter.

34Jotham did things that the Lord said were good, as his father Uzziah had done.

35But he did not remove the altars on the hills. The people continued to offer sacrifices and to burn incense on those altars. Jotham built the Higher Gate of the Lord's temple.

36The other things that happened while Jotham was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’. It tells about the things that Jotham did.

37While Jotham was king, the Lord began to send King Rezin of Syria and Remaliah's son Pekah to attack Judah.

38Jotham died and they buried him beside his ancestors in the City of David, who was his ancestor. His son Ahaz became king after him.
