2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 15:34 the high places were not removed. See note on 1 Kings 3:2. Jotham was a relatively good king. Nevertheless, he is described as being like his father Uzziah rather than like David (see note on 2 Kings 14:1–6). He failed to encourage the people to worship in Jerusalem. Rather, he allowed them to continue worshiping at the high places. Micah’s prophetic ministry began during Jotham’s reign (Micah 1:1).
