The death and succession — 'Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place' (וישׁאר דברי יותם וכל מלחמתיו ודרכיו הנם כתובים בספר מלכי ישׂראל ויהודה). Jotham's reign ends in a notation to written records and succession by his son Ahaz. The transition appears peaceful.
