1. Jotham was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled 16 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha. Jerusha was Zadok’s daughter.
2. Jotham did what the Lord wanted him to do. He obeyed God just as his father Uzziah had done. But Jotham did not enter the Lord’S Temple to burn incense as his father had. But the people continued doing wrong.
3. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord’S Temple. He did much building on the wall at the place named Ophel.
