2 Chron. 26:16‑21• 16But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
 17And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:
 18And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honor from the Lord God.
 19Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.
 20And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.
 21And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. (2 Chron. 26:16‑21)

• Jotham was well aware of the consequences of his father's behavior and took care not to follow the same path. (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
• Through Zechariah, his father might perhaps have had more understanding in the visions of God had he entered into the knowledge of divine revelation sooner. Yet, precious as this knowledge was, it had not prevented Uzziah from a very serious fall. It is all-important for us to remember this truth. Jotham carefully avoided that which had caused his father's ruin, that is, disobedience to the Word of God which he nevertheless knew so well; he "prepared his ways before Jehovah his God"; he walked uprightly according to the word of the prophet Micah who began to prophesy under his reign. (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
• Micah began to prophesy under Jotham and tells us of the people, of their leaders — chief men and princes — of their prophets, without even mentioning the king. Read Micah 1:9; 2:2,3,8-10; 3:1-2,5-12; 6:2-5; 7:2,3,18; everywhere you will find the state of the people presented as the principal cause of judgment. (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
• "Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places" (2 Kings 15:35). Doubtless Jotham, who prepared his ways, had no fellowship with the high places, but he lacked the necessary authority to forbid them to the people. Here we clearly see that if the king's moral condition was good, that of the people was bad: "The people still acted corruptly" (2 Chron. 27:2). (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
