Subjects in this Topic:
JOTHAM.—1. A king of Judah in the time of Isaiah. His father was afflicted with leprosy, and Jotham had some sort of regency before becoming sole ruler (2Ki_15:5). We know nothing of him except that he rebuilt or ornamented one of the gates of the Temple (2Ki_15:35), and that the hostilities which later culminated in the invasion of Judah began before his death (2Ki_15:37-38).
2. A Calebite (1Ch_2:47).
