Jotham

Jotham is referenced here as one of the two kings whose reigns provided the historical timestamp for when the Gadite genealogies were officially recorded — anchoring this tribal documentation to a specific moment in Judah's monarchy.

Jotham is presented at the opening of his formal reign record — ascending the throne at twenty-five, he is evaluated against his father Uzziah and earns a remarkably clean verdict from the chronicler.

Jotham is introduced here as the son who steps in to govern on his father Azariah's behalf after leprosy forces the king into isolation — effectively ruling as regent.
