In those days."At the end of Jotham's reign."
This Jotham died at forty-one.
He was too great a blessing to be continued long to such an unworthy people.
His death was a judgment, especially considering the character of Ahaz, his son and successor:
for we read, (16:3) Ahaz made his son pass through the fire.
This son may have been Hezekiah, who served the Lord, and whose prayer in sickness was most graciously herd and answered.
Isa. 38:1‑22• 1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
 2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,
 3and said, Remember now, Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done [that which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept much.
 4And the word of Jehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
 5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years.
 6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
 7And this [shall be] the sign unto thee from Jehovah that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:
 8behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down with the sun on the dial of Ahaz, to return ten steps backward. So the sun returned on the dial ten steps whereby it was gone down.
 9The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness.
 10I said, In the still noon of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the residue of my years.
 11I said, I shall not see Jah, Jah in the land of the living. I shall not behold man longer with the inhabitants of the world.
 12Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent. I have rolled off like a weaver my life; from the thrum he cutteth me off; from day to night wilt thou make an end of me.
 13I kept still till morning: as a lion he breaketh all my bones; from day to night he will make an end of me.
 14Like a swallow, a crane, so did I chatter; I mourned as a dove; mine eyes failed [with looking] upward. Jehovah, I am oppressed: undertake for me.
 15What shall I say? He hath both spoken to me, and himself hath done [it]: I shall go softly all my years for the bitterness of my soul.
 16Lord, by these things [men] live, and wholly in them [is] the life of my spirit; and thou recoverest me and makest me to live.
 17Behold, for peace I had bitterness on bitterness; but thou hast in love delivered my soul from the pit of destruction, for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
 18For Sheol doth not praise thee, [nor] death celebrate thee; they that go down into the pit do not hope for thy truth.
 19The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I this day; the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
 20Jehovah—to save me! My song too we will sing to stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.
 21Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

It seems also that this may have been the case during the reign of Jotham. (“Jotham, King of Judah: 2 Kings 15:32-38” by H.L. Rossier)
