Contextual Overview
32In the second year of Israel’s King Pekah son of Remaliah, Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah. 33He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 34He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his father Uzziah had done. 35Yet the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places. 36The rest of the events of Jotham’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings. 37In those days the Lord began sending Aram’s King Rezin and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah. 38Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his ancestor David. His son Ahaz became king in his place.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,.... Jarchi, in 2 Chronicles 27:2, observes, from a writer of theirs, that in all the kings of Judah before him, even in the best, some sins were found; but in Jotham there was nothing scandalous and reproachful; and it is a high character Josephus i gives of him, that there was no virtue wanting in him; he was pious towards God, just towards men, and careful of the public good; but the inspired historian chiefly respects matters of religious worship; he did not give into idolatry:
he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done; that is, according to what was well done by him; he did not imitate him in going into the temple to burn incense, which is particularly excepted.
2 Chronicles 27:2.
i Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jotham imitated his father in all respects, excepting in his impious usurpation of the priestly functions (2 Kings 15:5 note; 2 Chronicles 27:2).
