2 CHRONICLES 27:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly.”
Jotham's righteousness — 'And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD according to all that his father Uzziah had done—except he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices' (ויעשׂ הישׁר בעיני יהוה ככל אשׁר עשׂה עזיהו אביו אך לא בא אל היכל יהוה וגם העם השׁחיתו). Jotham avoids his father's sacrilege — he 'did not enter the temple' (לא בא אל היכל), respecting priestly boundaries. Yet 'the people still followed corrupt practices' (וגם העם השׁחיתו) indicates that popular idolatry persists despite the king's piety.
