This site's exposition
the rest of the acts of Jotham
on 2 Chronicles 27:7-9
The closing formula points past Chronicles itself to a fuller source, the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, one of several royal records this book names without claiming to be. Verse 8 repeats the accession notice of verse 1, twenty-five years old and sixteen years reigned, in the reversed order five and twenty, Chronicles' own way of bracketing a reign it has already summed up. Jotham sleeps with his fathers in the city of David, and the chapter closes on Ahaz his son reigning in his stead, the name that will undo nearly everything Jotham prepared.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
The last words of the chapter are the most melancholy, as they inform us that Ahaz his son, whose character, in all respects, was the reverse of his, reigned in his stead. When the wealth and power with which wise men have done good devolve upon fools, that will do hurt with them, it is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
