¹ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.

² He did what Yahweh regards as right, just as his father Uzziah had done. Only he did not enter Yahweh's sanctuary. But the people continued to do wrong.

³ It was he who built the Upper Gate of the Temple of Yahweh and carried out considerable work on the wall of the Ophel.
