  Jotham of Judah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jotham (Yotam in Hebrew "God is perfect or complete") was the king of Judah, and son of Uzziah with Jerusha, daughter of Zadok.
Because his father Uzziah was afflicted with tzaraas towards the end of his reign, Jotham was appointed royal steward.
Because both 2 Chronicles (26:21, 27:1) and 2 Kings 15:33 state Jotham became king at the age of 25, scholars have concluded that Jotham became steward at 25, but upon his father's death sole king for 16 years.

Jotham was a fairly good and successful king, following the positive example set by his father Uzziah and avoiding his father's big mistake.
Jotham, we are told, reigned for 16 years (2Kings 15:33), including a 12-year coregency with his father Uzziah.
So it would appear that Jotham, four years before that 20th year, turned the rule of the nation over to his son Ahaz, who would prove to be a wicked king.
