UJothamu wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha eJerusalema; igama likanina lalinguJerusha indodakazi kaSadoki.

U-Azariya umpristi omkhulu wendlu kaSadoki wathi : Kusukela ekuqaleni kokulethwa kweminikelo endlini kaJehova sidlile sasutha , sashiya okuningi, ngokuba uJehova ubusisile abantu bakhe; okuseleyo yile ngcebo.
