^5 (A)And the Lord afflicted the king, so that he had leprosy to the day of his death. And he ^(B)lived in a separate house, ^[a]while Jotham the king’s son was in charge of the household, judging the people of the land.

Jotham over Judah

³² In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of ^[a]Uzziah king of Judah became king. ^33 (A)He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. ^34 (B)He did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he acted in accordance with everything that his father Uzziah had done. ³⁵ Only ^(C)the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ^(D)He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord. ³⁶ Now as for the rest of the acts of Jotham which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ³⁷ In those days ^(E)the Lord began to send Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. ³⁸ And Jotham ^[b]lay down with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place.

Jotham Succeeds Uzziah in Judah

27 ^(A)Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. ² He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; ^(B)however he did not enter the temple of the Lord. But the people continued acting corruptly. ³ He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and he built the wall of ^(C)Ophel extensively. ⁴ Moreover, he built ^(D)cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built fortresses and towers on the wooded hills. ⁵ He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them so that during that year the Ammonites gave him ^[a]a hundred talents of silver, ^[b]ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites also paid him this amount in the second year and in the third. ^6 (E)So Jotham became powerful because he directed his ways before the Lord his God. ^7 (F)Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. ⁸ He was ^(G)twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. ⁹ And Jotham ^[c]lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place.
