Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

There is not much more related here concerning Jotham than we had before, 2 Kgs. 15:32-38 I. He reigned well. He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord; the course of his reign was good, and pleasing to God, whose favour he made his end, and his word his rule, and (which shows that he acted from a good principle) he prepared his ways before the Lord his God (2 Chron. 27:6), that is, he walked circumspectly and with much caution, contrived how to shun that which was evil and compass... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:3

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 F6 De Bell. Jud. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2. 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 F7 Vid.... read more

On the wall of Ophel - The wall, says the Targum, of the interior palace. Ophel was some part of the wall of Jerusalem, that was most pregnable, and therefore Jotham fortified it in a particular manner. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

The blameless reign of a son who followed all that was good in a father's example, and took warning of what was wrong in it. The preacher may take occasion, from the apparently scant contents of this chapter, to enlarge on the general subject of example as a force in human life, pointing out its strong points and its weaker side; what is requisite to give it a steady and equable influence, and how there is only one perfect Example—an Example always and in all things and by all worthy to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 27:1-9

Features of an honourable life: Jotham. But little of Jotham's reign is recorded in Scripture, and his name is seldom on our lips. But he was a man of worth and wisdom; and, considering the comparative brevity of his life, we may say that he contributed much to his country. We learn from the account in the Second Book of Kings ( 2 Kings 15:5 )— I. THAT HE SERVED A USEFUL APPRENTICESHIP . We find that, for some time during his father's illness, he, "the king's son, was over... read more

The high gate. In the parallel, rendered in the Authorized Version the "higher" gate, the Hebrew ( חָעֶלְיוֹן ) being the same in both places. The Revised Version shows "upper gate" in both places. It was probably the gate which led from the palace to the temple's outer court (see 2 Chronicles 23:20 , and note there). On the wall of Ophel ; Hebrew, הָעפֶל ; i.e. the ophel, which may be Englished "the swelling ground." It was the extreme south end of the spur which gradually... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 27:3

Ophel was the name given to the long, narrowish, rounded spur or promontory, which intervenes between the central valley of Jerusalem (the Tyropoeon) and the Kidron, or valley of Jehoshaphat. The anxiety of Uzziah and Jotham to fortify their territory indicates a fear of external attack, which at this time was probably felt mainly in connection with Samaria and Syria (2 Kings 15:37 note). The faithless trust put in fortifications was rebuked by the prophets of the time Hosea 8:14; Isaiah 2:15. read more

He did according to all his father Uzziah did, except in his miscarriages. We must not imitate those we have the greatest esteem for, any further than they do well; and their failings must be warnings to us, to walk more circumspectly. 2 Chronicles 27:3. He built the high gate, &c. Otherwise called... read more
