Commentary on 2 Chronicles 27:2

Theological / Devotional

Into the temple. That is, Jotham did not illegally go into the Temple as his father had done before him (ch. 26:16–20).

Did yet corruptly. The writer of Kings further explains this item by stating that “the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places” (2 Kings 15:35). The utterances of the prophets of this period give evidence that there existed a deep-seated moral corruption that was sapping the strength of the nation (Isa. 1:4, 21–24; Hosea 4:1, 2; Micah 3:10–12).
