2. Kongebok 15,34

32 I det andre året til Pekah, sønn av Remalja, Israels konge, begynte Jotam, sønn av Ussia, Judas konge, å regjere.

33 Han var tjuefem år gammel da han begynte å regjere, og han regjerte i seksten år i Jerusalem; hans mor var Jerusja, datter av Sadok.

Han gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne; han fulgte i alle sin far Ussias veier.

35 Men offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket fortsatte å ofre og brenne røkelse på disse haugene. Han bygde den øvre porten til Herrens hus.

36 Når det gjelder de andre gjerningene til Jotam og hans bedrifter, er de ikke oppskrevet i Krønikerboken til Judas konger?

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
