Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 32-38. - REIGN OF JOTHAM. Once more the writer turns from Israel to Judah, and proceeds to give an account of the reign of Jotham the son of Azariah, or Uzziah, who was appointed regent in his father's place, when Uzziah was struck with leprosy (ver. 5). The account given of the reign is somewhat scanty, and requires to be supplemented from Chronicles (2 Chronicles 27.). Verse 32. - In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah King of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah King of Judah to reign. In the second year of Pekah, Azariah died, and Jotham became actual king; but his joint reign with his father commenced very much earlier. His sole reign was probably a short one.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(32-38) THE REIGN OF JOTHAM IN JERUSALEM.(Comp. 2 Chronicles 27)(32) In the second year of Pekah.--Who came to the throne in the last year of Uzziah (Azariah, 2Kings 15:27).(34) According to all that his father Uzziah had done.--The chronicler qualifies this general statement by adding that Jotham did not, like his father, invade the Holy Place. (Comp. 2Chronicles 27:2, with 2Chronicles 26:16.)(35) Howbeit the high places.--The chronicler generalises this statement: "And the people did yet corruptly."He built.--Rather, He it was who built For "the higher gate," see Note on 2Chronicles 27:3. Thenius considers that the term higher denotes rank rather than local position. (See Jeremiah 20:2; Ezekiel 8:3; Ezekiel 8:5; Ezekiel 8:14; Ezekiel 8:16; Ezekiel 9:2; Ezekiel 40:38-43; and comp. 2Kings 12:9.) . . .
