In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, began Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

Twenty-five years old, was he, when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, - and, the name of his mother, was Jerusha, daughter of Zadok.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, - according to all that Uzziah his father had done.

Only, the high places, took they not away, still were the people offering sacrifice and burning incense in the high places, - he, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.

Now, the rest of the story of Jotham, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

In those days, began Yahweh to send against Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, - and Pekah son of Remaliah.

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, - and, Ahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
