    Description

    Who was Jotham?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jotham was a king of Judah who reigned for sixteen years, from approximately 750 to 735 BC (2Ki.15.32-33; 2Ch.27.1). He was the son of Uzziah (also known as Azariah) and succeeded him as king (2Ki.15.7; 2Ch.26.23).

    Jotham became co-regent with his father Uzziah when Uzziah was struck with leprosy for burning incense in the temple (2Ki.15.5; 2Ch.26.21). After Uzziah's death, Jotham assumed full control of the kingdom (2Ki.15.7; 2Ch.26.23).

    During his reign, Jotham is described as doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord, following the example of his father Uzziah (2Ki.15.34; 2Ch.27.2). He rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple and carried out construction projects on the wall at Ophel (2Ch.27.3).

    Jotham also successfully waged war against the Ammonites, subjecting them to tribute (2Ch.27.5). He became powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God (2Ch.27.6).

    The prophets Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah prophesied during Jotham's reign (Isa.1.1; Hos.1.1; Mic.1.1). Jotham died and was buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Ahaz succeeded him as king (2Ki.15.38; 2Ch.27.7, 9).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Jotham10 of 16 entities the graph connects to Jotham, in 2 groups: kinship 2, events 8. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.AhazFather of · 5 events · 37 versesUzziahChild of · 4 events · 33 versesKinshipJudah2 events · 1,023 versesLORD1 event · 1,004 versesJerusalem3 events · 888 versesCity1 event · 485 versesWord1 event · 225 versesAmmon2 events · 123 versesHezekiah3 events · 116 versesJeroboam2 events · 14 versesEventsJotham
