- Jotham:
-
- "Jotham began to reign just about the time Isaiah began his great ministry (Isa 6:1) and was probably influenced by that godly man, and perhaps by Hosea and Micah also. He had victory over the Ammonites, who were forced to pay him heavy tribute; he was a great builder, fortifying several places in Judah and building the upper gate of the temple. For the record of his life, see 2 Kings 15:32-38 and 2 Chronicles 27." (THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE, © 1987 Zondervan, pp. 549-50)
