And he did.
2 Cr. 26:4• 4E hizo lo recto en los ojos de Jehová, conforme á todas las cosas que había hecho Amasías su padre. (2 Cr. 26:4)
;
2 R. 15:34• 34Y él hizo lo recto en ojos de Jehová; hizo conforme á todas las cosas que había hecho su padre Uzzía. (2 R. 15:34)
he entered not.He copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and constitutional; and avoided his transgression.
2 Cr. 26:16‑21• 16Mas cuando fué fortificado, su corazón se enalteció hasta corromperse; porque se rebeló contra Jehová su Dios, entrando en el templo de Jehová para quemar sahumerios en el altar del perfume.
 17Y entró tras él el sacerdote Azarías, y con él ochenta sacerdotes de Jehová, de los valientes.
 18Y pusiéronse contra el rey Uzzías, y dijéronle: No á ti, oh Uzzías, el quemar perfume á Jehová, sino á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, que son consagrados para quemarlo: sal del santuario, por que has prevaricado, y no te será para gloria delante del Dios Jehová.
 19Y airóse Uzzías, que tenía el perfume en la mano para quemarlo; y en esta su ira contra los sacerdotes, la lepra le salió en la frente delante de los sacerdotes en la casa de Jehová, junto al altar del perfume.
 20Y miróle Azarías el sumo sacerdote, y todos los sacerdotes, y he aquí la lepra estaba en su frente; é hiciéronle salir apriesa de aquel lugar; y él también se dió priesa á salir, porque Jehová lo había herido.
 21Así el rey Uzzías fué leproso hasta el día de su muerte, y habitó en una casa apartada, leproso, por lo que había sido separado de la casa de Jehová; y Joatham su hijo tuvo cargo de la casa real, gobernando al pueblo de la tierra. (2 Cr. 26:16‑21)

Sal. 119:120• 120Mi carne se ha extremecido por temor de ti; Y de tus juicios tengo miedo. (Sal. 119:120)

2 R. 15:35• 35Con todo eso los altos no fueron quitados; que el pueblo sacrificaba aún, y quemaba perfumes en los altos. Edificó él la puerta más alta de la casa de Jehová. (2 R. 15:35)
• 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)
