2 KINGS 15:32-38

2 KINGS 15:32-38
Nang ikalawang taon ni Peka na anak ni Remalias
32 

na hari ng Israel, si Jotam na anak ni Uzias na hari ng

Juda ay nagsimulang maghari. 33 Siya'y dalawampu't
limang taon nang siya'y nagsimulang maghari, at
siya'y naghari ng labing-anim na taon sa Jerusalem.
Ang pangalan ng kanyang ina ay Jerusha na anak ni
Zadok. 34 Siya'y gumawa ng matuwid sa mga mata
ng PANGINOON, ayon sa lahat ng ginawa ng kanyang
amang si Uzias.
2 KINGS 15:32-38
35 
Gayunma'y, ang matataas na dako ay hindi
inalis. Ang bayan ay patuloy na nag-alay at
nagsunog ng insenso sa matataas na dako.
Itinayo niya ang pintuang-bayan sa itaas sa
bahay ng PANGINOON. 36 Ang iba pa sa mga
gawa ni Jotam, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, di ba
nakasulat ang mga iyon sa Aklat ng mga
Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Juda?
2 KINGS 15:32-38
Nang mga araw na iyon, pinasimulang suguin
37 

ng PANGINOON laban sa Juda sina Rezin na hari

sa Siria at si Peka na anak ni Remalias. 38 Si
Jotam ay natulog na kasama ng kanyang mga
ninuno, at inilibing na kasama ng kanyang mga
ninuno sa lunsod ni David na kanyang ninuno. Si
Ahaz na kanyang anak ay nagharing kapalit
niya.
 In our text we see some
3 characteristics about him
and about Judah while he was
king.
#1 RELIGION EXISTED
Nang ikalawang taon ng paghahari ni Peka na
v32 

anak ni Remalias sa Israel, naging hari ng Juda si

Jotam na anak ni Azarias. v33 Dalawampu't limang
taóng gulang siya noon at naghari siya sa Jerusalem
sa loob ng labing-anim na taon. Ang kanyang ina ay
si Jerusa na anak ni Zadok. v34 Siya ay naging
kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh sapagkat sinundan niya
ang mabuting halimbawa ng kanyang amang si
Azarias.
A. HIS PERSONAL DEVOTION
2 Chronicles 27:2
2 
At kanyang ginawa ang matuwid sa
paningin ng PANGINOON, ayon sa lahat
ng ginawa ng kanyang amang si Uzias—
liban lamang sa hindi niya pinasok ang
templo ng PANGINOON. Ngunit ang
taong-bayan ay sumunod sa masasamang
Now if we just take that statement for what it
says,Then we must come to the conclusion that Jotham
was a good king.
 
“He did what was right” 

And allow me for a moment to just sort of develop that

notion

By some of the other information we gain about

Jotham From the writer of Chronicles.
You may remember that Uzziah had a tremendous arrogance
problem.
HE got so high on himself that he actually took it upon himself
To enter the temple and burn incense. 
This of course was forbidden and the resulting judgment was
that Uzziah was struck with leprosy until the day of his
death. Here we learn that Jotham learned from his father’s
misfortune. 
The idea here is that he kept God in an exalted place.
He didn’t think himself big enough to approach God.
He didn’t think himself important enough to walk right in to
the holy place.
A. HIS PERSONAL DEVOTION
2 Chronicles 27:6
Kaya't si Jotam ay naging
6 

makapangyarihan, sapagkat inayos niya

ang kanyang pamumuhay sa harapan
ng PANGINOON niyang Diyos.
B. HIS PROMOTED RELIGION
2 Chronicles 27:3
Kanyang itinayo ang pang-itaas na
3 

pintuan ng bahay ng PANGINOON, at

marami siyang ginawa sa pader ng Ofel.
You could tell by his projects what was important to
him. When the remodeling began he worked on God’s
house.
• He wanted it to be great, he wanted it to be esteemed.
• He devoted his time and resources to making clear his
preferred religion. Furthermore “he built extensively the
wall of Ophel”This was an outer wall surrounding the old
city of Jerusalem. And from that we see that Jerusalem
was important to him And God’s temple was important
to him. In his projects he revealed what mattered.He was
promoting God’s city and God’s house.
1. He was a great builder.
2. He accomplished much for
the nation. 
3. He was successful militarily
C. HIS POLITICAL SUCCESS

1. He was a great builder.

2. He accomplished much for the nation. 
3. He was successful militarily.
C. HIS POLITICAL SUCCESS
2 Chronicles 27:5
5 
Siya'y lumaban sa hari ng mga Ammonita at
nagtagumpay laban sa kanila. At ang mga
Ammonita ay nagbigay sa kanya nang taon ding
iyon ng isandaang talentong pilak, at sampung
libong koro ng trigo at sampung libo ng sebada.
Ang mga Ammonita ay nagbayad sa kanya ng
gayunding halaga sa ikalawa at ikatlong taon.
C. HIS POLITICAL SUCCESS
2 Chronicles 27:6
Kaya't si Jotam ay naging
6 

makapangyarihan, sapagkat inayos niya

ang kanyang pamumuhay sa harapan
ng PANGINOON niyang Diyos.
He loved God,
He served God,
and God honored him for it.  

At kaya ipinapaalala ko sa iyo na sa ilalim ni

Jotham, umiral ang tunay na relihiyon. Ngunit
ang kanyang paghihikayat ay hindi pinansin At
ang kanyang halimbawa ay hindi sinunod.
#2 IDOLATRY ENDURED
35 
Gayunma'y, ang matataas na dako ay hindi
inalis. Ang bayan ay patuloy na nag-alay at
nagsunog ng insenso sa matataas na dako.
Itinayo niya ang pintuang-bayan sa itaas sa
bahay ng PANGINOON.
It was not because Jotham endorsed it, he
didn’t. He endorsed worship at God’s house. 
The problem is not that he supported it,
The problem is that he didn’t do anything to
stop it.
He refused to remove the idolatrous sin
of the people. And that is a tragedy.
John 2:13-16 “The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those
who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money
changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of
cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep
and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money
changers and overturned their tables; and to those who
were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away;
stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”That
was certainly displaying a tolerant attitude.
JUST PROMOTE WHAT IS RIGHT,BUT UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES
DO WE ATTACK WHAT IS WRONG.
Leaving people in sin never helped anyone.
People have to know the dangers that are
involved sin.
WE HAVE TO BE CONVICTED ENOUGH TO
TELL THEM
#3 JUDGMENT BEGAN
Nang mga araw na iyon, pinasimulang suguin
37 

ng PANGINOON laban sa Juda sina Rezin na hari

sa Siria at si Peka na anak ni Remalias. Si
38 

Jotam ay natulog na kasama ng kanyang mga

ninuno, at inilibing na kasama ng kanyang mga
ninuno sa lunsod ni David na kanyang ninuno. Si
Ahaz na kanyang anak ay nagharing kapalit
niya.
But let me also encourage you to be people of conviction.
 This world is filled with false belief…
 This world is contaminated with the filth of sin… 
 And someone has to be willing to confront it. 
• Someone has to be a voice calling in the wilderness “Make
straight the way of the LORD”
• Someone has to be willing to challenge false religion and
clear the temple…
• Someone has to be willing to challenge false teachers and
expose the brood of vipers…
• Someone has to be willing to break down the fortresses of
deception and disbelief…
• It is not enough to just be committed to what you believe.
• You and I must take an active stance against sin. 
• Against sin in our own lives and against sin in the lives of others.
• Because if the high places are allowed to remain,
• God’s judgment will arrive.  
• Jotham was personally devoted, But he was ineffective in truly
helping his nation. 
• Despite all the good he did, and despite what he stood for,
• By the time his reign was over God’s judgment was already
arriving. 
• He left sin alone, and it was undoing Israel.  
• Be one who is willing to stand for the truth of God.

would build up the wall and stand in the gap before
Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I
