Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:17
Theological / DevotionalJotham. King of Judah from about 750 to 731 B.C.
Jeroboam. King of Israel from about 793 to 753 B.C. Jeroboam was the vigorous ruler who restored the territory of Israel “from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain” (2 Kings 14:25). The phrase, “reckoned by genealogies,” suggests that he probably took a census of the tribes east of the Jordan. In the chaotic period following Jeroboam, Jotham may have taken over the territory of Israel across the Jordan, for he “fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them” (2 Chron. 27:5).
