Jotham the son of Uzziah reigns over Judah and builds the upper gate of the LORD’s house

웃시야의 아들 요담이 유다 왕이 되어 여호와의 전의 윗문을 건축함

2 Kings 15:32–38: the text says, “In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? In those days, the LORD began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.” Jotham sleeps with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigns in his place. The Korean Revised Version names Jotham at 15:34 and 15:35 (요담이), where WEB says “He”, and reads 그 조상 다윗성, the city of David his ancestor, where WEB reads “his father David’s city” (15:38).
