Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.
The word of the Lord that came to Micheas the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
The word of the Lord, that came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel.
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death. And he dwelt in a house apart, being full of the leprosy for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land.
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper. And Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
