Howbeit.
2 R. 15:4• 4Con todo eso los altos no se quitaron; que el pueblo sacrificaba aún y quemaba perfumes en los altos. (2 R. 15:4)
;
2 R. 18:4• 4El quitó los altos, y quebró las imágenes, y taló los bosques, é hizo pedazos la serpiente de bronce que había hecho Moisés, porque hasta entonces le quemaban perfumes los hijos de Israel; y llamóle por nombre Nehustán. (2 R. 18:4)
;
2 Cr. 32:12• 12¿No es Ezechîas el que ha quitado sus altos y sus altares, y dijo á Judá y á Jerusalem: Delante de este solo altar adoraréis, y sobre él quemaréis perfume? (2 Cr. 32:12)
the higher gate.
2 Cr. 27:3‑9• 3Edificó él la puerta mayor de la casa de Jehová, y en el muro de la fortaleza edificó mucho.
 4Además edificó ciudades en las montañas de Judá, y labró palacios y torres en los bosques.
 5También tuvo él guerra con el rey de los hijos de Ammón, á los cuales venció; y diéronle los hijos de Ammón en aquel año cien talentos de plata, y diez mil coros de trigo, y diez mil de cebada. Esto le dieron los hijos de Ammón, y lo mismo en el segundo año, y en el tercero.
 6Así que Joatham fué fortificado, porque preparó sus caminos delante de Jehová su Dios.
 7Lo demás de los hechos de Joatham, y todas sus guerras, y sus caminos, he aquí está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá.
 8Cuando comenzó á reinar era de veinticinco años, y dieciséis reinó en Jerusalem.
 9Y durmió Joatham con sus padres, y sepultáronlo en la ciudad de David; y reinó en su lugar Achâz su hijo. (2 Cr. 27:3‑9)
• Strength presents a danger. We have seen in the case of Uzziah that this feeling pushed him to lift himself up before the high priest (2 Chron. 26:16-21). Jotham does not become puffed up by his strength. Also it is said of him, in comparing him with his father: “Only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah” (2 Chron. 27:2). On the contrary, being humble, he was occupied with the house of God. (“Jotham, King of Judah: 2 Kings 15:32-38” by H.L. Rossier)
• {built the upper gate} There are other deeds in his life, and Chronicles informs us of them, but is it not touching to see that God puts this one into the spotlight as characteristic, in His eyes, of the reign of this faithful king? (“Jotham, King of Judah: 2 Kings 15:32-38” by H.L. Rossier)
