| Jotham having ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five, reigned altogether in the spirit and power of his father, with the single limitation that he did not go into the sanctuary of Jahve (cf. Ch2 26:16.). This remark is not found in 2 Kings 15, because there Uzziah's intrusion into the temple is also omitted. The people still did corruptly (cf. Ch2 26:16). This refers, indeed, to the continuation of the worship in the high places, but hints also at the deep moral corruption which the prophets of that time censure (cf. especially Isa 2:5., Ch2 5:7.; Mic 1:5; Mic 2:1.). |

34 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he did [06213] according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] had done [06213].
35 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] and burned incense [06999] still in the high places [01116]. He built [01129] the higher [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].

3 He built [01129] the high [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and on the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077] he built [01129] much [07230].
