Context: Jotham, rendered as Ἰωάθαμ in Greek, is a significant biblical figure known primarily from the Old Testament. He was the son of Uzziah (also known as Azariah) and became the king of Judah following his father's reign. Jotham is noted for his righteous leadership and adherence to the ways of the Lord, as described in 2 Kings 15:32-38 and 2 Chronicles 27:1-9. His reign is characterized by military success and building projects, including the construction of the Upper Gate of the Temple of the LORD.

In the New Testament, Jotham is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:9), where he is listed as an ancestor of Joseph, the husband of Mary. This inclusion highlights the Davidic lineage of Jesus, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent from the house of David.

Jotham's legacy is one of faithfulness and devotion to God, serving as an example of godly leadership. His life and reign are a testament to the blessings that come from obedience to God's commandments.
