Jotham was king of Judah from about 750-731 BC, ruling during a time when the northern kingdom of Israel was declining and facing threats from Assyria. Unlike many kings before and after him, Jotham consistently followed God's ways and avoided the idol worship that had corrupted other rulers. His faithful leadership brought stability and strength to the southern kingdom of Judah during his 16-year reign.
