Jotham, the son of Uzziah, succeeds him as King of Judah—after having basically been the acting-king for most of Uzziah's reign. Like his father, Jotham is a good king, though yet again he doesn't abolish the high places. He helps repair the Jerusalem and has to deal with the burgeoning aggression of King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah of Israel. His son Ahaz succeeds him as king.
