Context of 2 Kings 15:33

31Everything else about Pekah—everything he did—is written in the official records of the kings of Israel. 32In the second year that King Pekah, son of Remaliah, ruled Israel, Jotham, son of Azariah, began to rule as king of Judah. He was 25 years old when he began to rule. He ruled for 16 years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jerusha, daughter of Zadok. 34He did what the Lord considered right, as his father Azariah had done. 35But the illegal places of worship were not torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites. Jotham built the Upper Gate of the Lord’s temple.
