The expression "rested with his fathers" is a common biblical euphemism for death, suggesting a peaceful passing and a joining with ancestors. It reflects the belief in an afterlife and the continuation of one's lineage. Jotham was a king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as noted earlier in <a href="/2_chronicles/27-2.htm">2 Chronicles 27:2</a>, and his reign was marked by stability and prosperity. His death marks the end of a relatively peaceful period in Judah's history.<p><b>and was buried in the City of David.</b><br>The City of David refers to Jerusalem, specifically the southeastern part of the city where the ancient Jebusite city was located. This area became the burial place for the kings of Judah, signifying honor and respect. The burial in the City of David underscores Jotham's legitimacy and his place in the Davidic line, which is significant for the messianic prophecies concerning the lineage of David (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>). Archaeological findings in the area have provided insights into the burial practices and the historical context of the Davidic dynasty.<p><b>And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.</b><br>Ahaz's ascension to the throne marks a significant transition in Judah's history. Unlike his father, Ahaz is noted for his unfaithfulness to God, as he engaged in idolatrous practices and sought alliances with foreign powers, which led to spiritual and political decline (<a href="/2_kings/16-2.htm">2 Kings 16:2-4</a>). This change in leadership highlights the cyclical nature of the kings of Judah, where periods of faithfulness are often followed by times of apostasy. Ahaz's reign sets the stage for the prophetic ministries of Isaiah and Micah, who called the nation back to covenant faithfulness. The contrast between Jotham and Ahaz serves as a reminder of the importance of godly leadership and its impact on a nation's spiritual health.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jotham.htm">Jotham</a></b><br>The king of Judah, known for his righteous reign and obedience to God.
