CHAP. XXVII.

Vers. 1. JOtham was twenty and five years old when he began to reigne, and he reigned sixteen years, &c.] See 2. Kings 16.2. &c. and 15.33.

Vers. 2. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did.] That is, he did that which was right, but not with a perfect heart: and therefore it follows in the next words (to shew that yet he was not altogether so ill as his father) that he entered not into the Temple, to wit, to of∣fer incense, and to incroach upon the priests office, as his father did.

And the people did yet corruptly.] That is, they sacrificed, and burnt incense still in the high places, 2. Kings 15.35.

Vers. 3. He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, &c.] See 2. Kings 15.35.

And on the wall of Ophel he built much.] This Ophel was a tower on the out∣side of the citie. See chap. 35.15. Neh. 3.26.27. and 11.21. and was (as is there noted) the place where in those times the Nethinims dwelt.
