2 Chronicles 27
1. Jotham Reigns in Judah














And Jotham rested
The phrase "rested" is often used in the Old Testament to denote death, particularly of the kings of Israel and Judah. The Hebrew word used here is "שָׁכַב" (shakab), which implies a peaceful transition from life to death, suggesting that Jotham's reign was one of relative peace and faithfulness to God. This reflects the biblical principle that those who walk in righteousness can anticipate a peaceful end, as seen in Proverbs 14:32, "The righteous has a refuge in his death."

with his fathers
This phrase indicates that Jotham was buried in the traditional burial place of the kings, signifying honor and continuity with his ancestors. It underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the covenantal promises God made to David and his descendants. The phrase also reflects the Hebrew understanding of Sheol, a place where the dead reside, awaiting the final resurrection.

and was buried in the City of David
The "City of David" refers to Jerusalem, specifically the area that David captured and established as his capital. This burial location signifies Jotham's legitimate rule and his connection to the Davidic line, which is central to the messianic prophecies. Archaeological findings in Jerusalem, such as the remnants of ancient tombs, provide historical context to this practice of royal burials, affirming the biblical record.

And his son Ahaz reigned in his place
The transition of power to "his son Ahaz" marks the continuation of the Davidic dynasty, a critical element in the biblical narrative that points to the coming of the Messiah through this lineage. However, Ahaz's reign is noted for its departure from the faithfulness of his father, highlighting the biblical theme of the consequences of turning away from God. This serves as a reminder of the importance of godly leadership and the impact of one's faithfulness on future generations.
