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 But the rest of the acts of Phacee, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

32 In the second year of Phacee, the son of Romelia king of Israel, reigned Joatham, son of Ozias, king of Juda.

33 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa, the daughter of Sadoc.

34 And he did that which was right before the Lord: according to all that his father Ozias had done, so did he.

35 But the high places he took not away: the people still sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places: he built the highest gate of the house of the Lord.
