³² In the second year of the reign of Israel's King Pekah son of Remaliah, Uzziah's son Jotham became king over Judah. ³³ He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. ³⁴ He did what the LORD approved, just as his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places. He built the Upper Gate to the LORD's temple. ³⁶ The rest of the events of Jotham's reign, including his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah. ³⁷ In those days the LORD prompted King Rezin of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah to attack Judah. ³⁸ Jotham passed away and was buried with his ancestors in the city of his ancestor David. His son Ahaz replaced him as king.
