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 Other activities of Pekach and all his accomplishments are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el.

32 It was in the second year of Pekach the son of Remalyah, king of Isra'el, that Yotam the son of 'Uziyah king of Y'hudah began his reign.

33 He was twenty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for sixteen years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Yerusha the daughter of Tzadok.

34 He did what was right from ADONAI's perspective, following the example of everything his father 'Uziyah had done.

35 However, the high places were not taken away; and the people still sacrificed and offered on the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of ADONAI.
