2 Kings 15:37 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:37

In those days
At the end of the days of Jotham, or after his death, things might be in design, and preparations made before, but nothing of what follows came to pass in his life, but in the times of his son;

the Lord began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah
the son of Remaliah:
to make war with them as a scourge to Ahaz for his sins; of which is in the following chapter.

2 Kings 15:37 In-Context

35 But the illegal places of worship were not torn down. The people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense at these worship sites. Jotham built the Upper Gate of the LORD's temple.

36 Isn't everything else about Jotham--everything he did--written in the official records of the kings of Judah?

37 In those days the LORD began to use King Rezin of Aram and Pekah, son of Remaliah, to attack Judah.

38 Jotham lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of his ancestor David. His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.
