Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

2 Chronicles 27:6 The circumstances of Jotham's day make it all the more remarkable that this should be the record of his life. He ascended the throne as regent at the time of Uzziah's removal, when the sovereign and the State alike were suffering from the perils of prosperity. National life had deteriorated, for national ideals were lowered, and but little place was given in the life of the people to the true worship of God. The new king, however, having somehow caught a vision of the only... read more

3UZZIAH, JOTHAM, AND AHAZ2 Chronicles 26:1-23; 2 Chronicles 27:1-9; 2 Chronicles 28:1-27AFTER the assassination of Amaziah, all the people of Judah took his son Uzziah, a lad of sixteen, called in the book of Kings Azariah, and made him king. The chronicler borrows from the older narrative the statement that "Uzziah did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done." In the light of the sins attributed both to Amaziah and Uzziah in Chronicles,... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

CHAPTER 27 The Reign of Jotham 1. The reign of Jotham (2 Chronicles 27:1-6 ) 2. The death of Jotham (2 Chronicles 27:7-9 ) The record of the reign of Jotham is brief in both 2 Kings and in Chronicles. He did also what was right in the sight of the LORD. The statement “howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD” means that he did not act as Uzziah, his father did, when he intruded into the functions of the priesthood. However, in spite of the good example of the king, the people... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

THE REIGN OF JOTHAM (vv.1-9) Jotham's reign was comparatively short, just 16 years, and he died at 41years. He did what was right as his father had done, though he did not follow his father's bad example of entering the temple of the Lord. Yet in spite of his reign being better than most of the kings, the people still acted corruptly. This evil included their sacrificing in high places (2 Kings 15:35). Thus, though Jotham was personally faithful to the Lord, he did not have the spiritual... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

Jotham Regarded As a Connecting-link 2 Chronicles 27:2; 2 Chronicles 28:02 Chronicles 28:0 WHO was he? Whence did he spring? He comes so suddenly upon us: let us interrogate him. A few facts may lead to a great philosophy. Jotham was the son of a king, and the probable son of a high priest. Then he must be good! Let us take care how we hasten to conclusions. We may be right, or we may be wrong; but let us take great care of the basis oh which our reasoning is founded. His father's name was... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:3-9

Nothing particularly interesting, more than the common events in the records of the kings of Judah and Israel, meets us in these verses. That they lived, and fought, and built, and died, seems the great outline of their general character. - Let the Reader recollect the one great cause for which their history is preserved; namely, to lead in the succession of the line of David to Christ. It is this which makes the record precious: for this terminates not in an endless genealogy after the law of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:9

REFLECTIONS IN the quick succession of kings which this part of the word of God brings forward to view, it is profitable to pause and consider, how transient those characters were in their power and influence, which during their government, no doubt, made a mighty bustle in life, and moved up and down as beings highly important. But alas! what is all human greatness but as a bubble on the mighty waters! precious Jesus! what would the whole earth, with all its greatest monarchies and men be,... read more

The Reign of Jotham. v. 1. Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. Cf 2 Kings 15:32-Habakkuk :. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok, probably a descendant of the famous priest of that name. v. 2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did, all but the burning of incense in the Temple; howbeit, he entered not into the Temple of the Lord, that is,... read more
