Context — The Reign of Jothamgenerated

1Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.

2 Chronicles 27:2 describes Jotham's reign, noting that he followed the righteous path laid by his father Uzziah. Although he did not enter the temple, the people continued to act corruptly, indicating a disconnect between the king's actions and the people's behavior. This context highlights the challenges of leadership and the moral state of the nation during Jotham's rule.

The Key Word עָשָׂה, vai.Ya.'asgenerated

The verb עָשָׂה (asah) means to do or make, used frequently throughout the Hebrew Bible. It encompasses a wide range of actions, from creating to performing tasks, and can refer to both physical and abstract activities. In this verse, it signifies Jotham's actions in alignment with divine expectations.

The parsing indicates that it is a sequential imperfect form, meaning Jotham's actions were ongoing or habitual during his reign. This verb is foundational in biblical narratives, often illustrating obedience or disobedience to God's commands.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'he did what was right,' which aligns with the KJV and ASV.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the sentence is וַיַּ֨עַשׂ (and he did), which governs the entire clause. It is followed by a description of what was done, indicated by the phrase הַיָּשָׁ֜ר (the right), and further qualified by the prepositional phrase בְּעֵינֵ֣י (in the eyes of) that specifies the audience of the action.

The structure shows a clear relationship between Jotham's actions and the expectations of the LORD. The sentence flows from his righteousness to the contrasting behavior of the people, highlighting the tension in the narrative.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates עָשָׂה as ἐποίησεν (he made), which reflects a similar meaning but emphasizes the act of creation or performance. This choice aligns with the Greek tradition of attributing moral actions to divine influence.

The term used for 'the people' in the Septuagint is λαὸς (laos), which carries the connotation of a community or nation, consistent with the Hebrew usage.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

2 Chronicles 27:2 tells us that Jotham did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just like his father Uzziah. However, he did not enter the temple, and the people continued to behave corruptly. This highlights the contrast between the king's righteousness and the people's actions.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean that Jotham did what was right?

It means he followed God's commandments and lived a life that was morally upright, aligning his actions with divine expectations.

Why did Jotham not enter the temple?

The text does not specify, but it may indicate a desire to maintain purity or avoid the corruption that had infiltrated the worship practices of the people.

What does the behavior of the people indicate?

It suggests a persistent moral decay among the community, despite having a righteous king, highlighting the challenges of leadership in influencing public morality.

How does this verse relate to other kings of Judah?

It provides a contrast with other kings, showing that personal righteousness does not always translate to national obedience or faithfulness.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. In what ways can I ensure my actions align with what is right in the eyes of the LORD?
  2. How can I influence those around me to act righteously, like Jotham did?

It is an exception only from the last clause, where also one word may be supplied out of the foregoing words, as is most usual in Scripture; thus, He did according to all that his father Uzziah did; then it fitly follows, howbeit, &c., i.e. except in his miscarriages.

(2) Howbeit he entered not.—The chronicler adds this reservation upon the preceding general statement. The author of Kings, having said nothing of Uzziah’s sacrilege, had no need to make such an exception. And the people did yet corruptly.—Still used to deal corruptly; a paraphrase of what we read in 2 Kings 15:35, “the people still used to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places.” We know further, from the extant utterances of the prophets of those days, that a deep-seated moral corruption was sapping the strength of the nation.

Of these the two noted are the most important: yashar, with the sense of being straight, direct, as "right in the sight" of Yahweh (Ex 15:26; De 12:25, etc.), in one's own eyes (Jud 17:6), "right words" (Job 6:25 the King James Version, yosher), "right paths" (Pr 4:11 the King James Version); and mishpaT "judgment" "cause" etc., a forensic term, as "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Ge 18:25). In

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

Uzziah

A contracted form of Azari’ah the Lord is my strength. (1.) One of Amaziah’s sons, whom the people made king of Judah in his father’s stead (2 Kings 14:21; 2 Chr. 26:1). His long reign of about fifty-two years was “the most prosperous excepting that of Jehosaphat since the time of Solomon.” He was a vigorous and able ruler, and “his name spread abroad, even to the entering in of Egypt” (2 Chr. 26:8, 14). In the earlier part of his reign, under the influence of Zechariah, he was faithful to Jehovah, and “did that which was right in the sight of the Lord” (2 Kings 15:3; 2 Chr. 26:4, 5); but toward the close of his…

He never deserted the worship of the true God, and was much influenced by Zechariah, a prophet who is mentioned only in connection with him. (2 Chronicles 26:5) So the southern kingdom was raised to a condition of prosperity which it had not known since the death of Solomon. The end of Uzziah was less prosperous than his beginning. Elated with his splendid career, he determined to burn incense on the altar of God, but was opposed by the high priest…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
