Context of 2 Kings 15:33
31Now the rest of the acts of Pekah and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 32In the second year of Pekah son of King Remaliah of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. He was 25 years old when he became king, and he reigned 16 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 34Now he did what was right in the eyes of Adonai, just as his father Uzziah had done. 35However, the high places were not taken away, and the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places. It was he who built the upper gate of the House of Adonai.
