2 Kings 15:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:33

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign
Alone, after the death of his father:

and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem;
and his reign, upon the whole, was a good reign:

and his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok;
a person well known in those times; Dr. Lightfoot ^F8 thinks he was high priest.

2 Kings 15:33 In-Context

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.

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham 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 was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

34 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 However the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.
