1De veinticinco años era Jotam cuando comenzó a reinar, y dieciséis años reinó en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Jerusa, hija de Sadoc.
2E hizo lo recto ante los ojos de Jehová, conforme a todas las cosas que había hecho Uzías su padre, salvo que no entró en el santuario de Jehová. Pero el pueblo continuaba corrompiéndose.
3Edificó él la puerta mayor de la casa de Jehová, y sobre el muro de la fortaleza edificó mucho.
4Además edificó ciudades en las montañas de Judá, y construyó fortalezas y torres en los bosques.
5También tuvo él guerra con el rey de los hijos de Amón, a los cuales venció; y le dieron los hijos de Amón en aquel año cien talentos de plata, diez mil coros de trigo, y diez mil de cebada. Esto le dieron los hijos de Amón, y lo mismo en el segundo año y en el tercero.
6Así que Jotam se hizo fuerte, porque preparó sus caminos delante de Jehová su Dios.
7Los demás hechos de Jotam, y todas sus guerras, y sus caminos, he aquí están escritos en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá.
8Cuando comenzó a reinar era de veinticinco años, y dieciséis reinó en Jerusalén.
9Y durmió Jotam con sus padres, y lo sepultaron en la ciudad de David; y reinó en su lugar Acaz su hijo.
JOHN GILL BIBLE COMMENTARY
I
Versículo 1
I. Jotham was twenty five years old,.... See Gill on 2 Kings 15:33.
Jotham was twenty five years old,.... See Gill on 2 Kings 15:33.
II
Versículo 2
II. And he did that which was right,.... See Gill on 2 Kings 15:34,
And he did that which was right,.... See Gill on 2 Kings 15:34,
howbeit, he entered not into the temple of the Lord; to burn incense, as his father did; he did according to his good ways, but not his evil ones:
and the people did yet corruptly; in sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, 2 Kings 15:35 which some think Joash himself did, and is meant in the preceding clause; but the sense given is best.
III
Versículo 3
III. He built the high gate in the house of the Lord,.... See the note on 2 Kings 15:35.
He built the high gate in the house of the Lord,.... See the note on 2 Kings 15:35.
and on the wall of Ophel he built much; which Kimchi interprets an high place; it was the eastern part of Mount Zion. Josephus (f) calls it Ophlas, and says it joined to the eastern porch of the temple; and some have thought the porch of the temple is meant; the Targum renders it a palace; it is a tradition of the Jews that it was the holy of holies (g).

Versículo 4
IV. Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of Judah,.... In the mountainous part of it, the hill …
Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of Judah,.... In the mountainous part of it, the hill country of Judea, Luke 1:65,
and in the forests he built castles and towers; for the safety of travellers, and of shepherds and their flocks, see 2 Chronicles 26:10.

Versículo 5
V. He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them,.... These were brought…
He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them,.... These were brought into subjection by David; but in later times endeavoured to cast off the yoke, and even invaded the land of Judah, as in the days of Jehoshaphat, and now in the reign of Jotham, but succeeded not, see Amos 1:13.
and the children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver; he obliged them to pay this tribute annually, and which they began to pay in the present year, and amounted to 35,330 pounds:
and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley; the measure here is the "cor", the same with the "homer"; which, according to Godwin (h), held forty five gallons, or five bushels and five gallons, so that there must be upwards of 50,000 bushels of each of these paid to Jotham; according to Bishop Cumberland (i), a "cor", or "homer", held seventy five wine gallons, and upwards of five pints:
so much did the children of Ammon pay both the second year and the third; the two following years as well as the present one; why this tribute was not continued to be paid cannot be said with certainty, whether the Ammonites refused and revolted, and could not be obliged, or whether the agreement was only for three years.

Versículo 6

So Jotham became mighty,.... Having built towers and castles, and fortified cities, and conquered his enemies:
because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God; ordered, directed, and guided them according to the word and will of God, and walked as in the sight of God, having the fear of him continually before him.

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars,.... Not only with the Ammonites, but with the Syrians, and ten tribes, see 2 Kings 15:37.
and his ways, lo, they are written in the books of the kings of Israel and Judah; not in the canonical books of Kings, but in the Chronicles of the kings of both nations, see 2 Kings 15:36.

Versículo 8
VIII. He was twenty five years old,.... The same is repeated here as in 2 Chronicles 27:1.

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign,.... These verses are much the same with 2 Kings 16:2, only in 2 Chronicles 28:2 it is said:
he made also molten images for Baalim; the several Baals or idols of the nations round about, as well as served Jeroboam's calves; see Judges 2:11, and he is said in 2 Chronicles 28:3,
to burn incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom; to Molech, the god of the Ammonites, who was worshipped there. See Gill on 2 Kings 16:2, 2 Kings 16:3, 2 Kings 16:4.
