31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Jotham Reigns in Judah

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, aJotham the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, began to reign.  
33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was1 Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.  
34 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did aaccording to all that his father Uzziah had done.  
35 aHowever the1 high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. bHe built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.  
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
37 In those days the Lord began to send aRezin king of Syria and bPekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.  
38 So Jotham rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
