Jotham becomes king and does what is right, specifically avoiding his father Uzziah’s unlawful entrance into the temple. He builds the upper gate of the temple, strengthens the wall of Ophel, constructs cities and fortresses, and defeats the Ammonites, who pay tribute for three years. The chapter summarizes his strength by saying he became mighty because he prepared his ways before the LORD, even though the people continued to act corruptly.
