Cultural and Historical Background: Jotham was a king of Judah who reigned in the 8th century BC. He is recognized for his piety and adherence to the ways of the Lord, following the example of his father Uzziah, though he did not enter the temple of the Lord as his father had done. His reign was marked by stability and prosperity, and he is credited with building projects and military successes. Jotham's time as king was a period of relative peace and strength for Judah, which was significant given the political turmoil in the region.
