Joshua SelmanGUEST
Let's try it.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
About Jotham.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Not first, second.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
2 Chronicles 27, I think, and verse six.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Let me know if I'm right.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
Beautiful.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
So Jotham became mighty, and the reason why he became mighty was that he prepared his ways before the Lord.
Joshua SelmanGUEST
He became a mighty man because he set in place the right order, the right formation of things.
Mike DayHOST
And Uzziah is described as righteous.
Mike DayHOST
Then we have Jotham from 740 to 732.
Mike DayHOST
Then we have Ahaz.
Mike DayHOST
And Ahaz dies when he's 36.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Compare 2 Nephi 17.
speaker_1NARRATOR
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezan, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
speaker_1NARRATOR
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim.
speaker_1NARRATOR
And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Zion will be redeemed in the day of restoration.
speaker_0NARRATOR
the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
JeremyHOST
He was immediately struck with leprosy and that was the end of his reign and his son had to take over because he couldn't leave the house.
JeremyHOST
His son, Jotham, excellent guy.
JeremyHOST
Exceptional king.
JeremyHOST
He followed in the ways of the Lord.
JeremyHOST
You really, when you read through Scripture, you're like, I really can't find anything that Jotham did wrong.
JeremyHOST
At least there's no record of it.
JeremyHOST
The only thing that I can tell you is Jotham had one of the worst sons that you could possibly have, Ahaz.
JeremyHOST
That guy was horrible.
Jared HalversonHOST
So he's there among the tribes of Judah.
Jared HalversonHOST
And it goes on, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Jared HalversonHOST
So if we were to go back to 2 Kings and see that time period unfold, again, about 40 years, give or take, the most famous of that bunch is Hezekiah, with Hezekiah's tunnel, with the strength of being able to stand up to the Assyrian army, we saw some things back at the end of 2 Kings when we studied it, that Isaiah makes his appearance there.
Jared HalversonHOST
And Isaiah is trying to reassure and calm down King Hezekiah and counsel him in righteousness.

Jared HalversonHOST
A need for and a promise of.
Jared HalversonHOST
a deliverer, a savior.
Jared HalversonHOST
In verse 1, it came to pass in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Jared HalversonHOST
Now, remember when we were looking at Nephi's keys back in 2 Nephi 25? And if you can get these five, master these five things, then Isaiah will make sense to you.
Anthony DevoreHOST
Turn back to Matthew, please, if you weren't there already.
Anthony DevoreHOST
Verse 7, Solomon was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa, and Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jerom, and Jerom the father of Uzziah, Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Ammon, Ammon the father of Josiah, Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
Anthony DevoreHOST
The one that sticks out to me there is Manasseh.
Anthony DevoreHOST
Manasseh.
Dave JenkinsHOST
God will be with his people.
Dave JenkinsHOST
So let's read now from Isaiah chapter 7, which says this, The days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remalah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it.
Dave JenkinsHOST
When the house of David was told Syria is in league with Ephraim, the heart of Ahaz, and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.
Dave JenkinsHOST
And the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out to me, Ahaz, you and Seir Jashub, your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to Washer's Field.

Welcome to this special joint podcast today, the Meridian Magazine podcast and the Scriptures Are Real podcast.
speaker_0HOST
We are with Dr. Carrie Muehlstein and we are Scott and Maureen Proctor, and this is such a delight as we today study Isaiah chapters 1 through 12 with a lesson entitled, God Is My Salvation.
speaker_0HOST
We're so thrilled to be together today.
Maurine ProctorHOST
And for our listeners who don't know Kerry, he is a BYU professor of ancient scripture and knows the Old Testament and loves the Old Testament in a way that I have always found very moving.
21 MINS LATER
Scot ProctorHOST
He copied a third of Isaiah, and about half of those verses are changed just a little bit.
Scot ProctorHOST
And so we have commentary in the Book of Mormon that helps us understand Isaiah.
Scot ProctorHOST
And since this is the first of five lessons on Isaiah, it's worth saying that we have a huge foundation of Isaiah right in the Book of Mormon.
Scot ProctorHOST
And sometimes Nephi or Jacob will take off on commentary talking about how this was so delightful to them and how we understand it, how it helps us to liken these things unto ourselves, etc.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
Now, in Isaiah 1, we're in 700 BC.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
We start out with, "The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah." That's a summary statement of 40 years.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
By the way, I'm gonna come back to this.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
Notice what the vision of Isaiah was about.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
You can see through some layers to get to other layers.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
It's wonderful.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
What we just read in Isaiah 1, verse 1, the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amots, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem in the days of the four kings from 740 to 700, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, that's the ancient chapter heading.
Jeff ChadwickGUEST
Verse 1 is actually the ancient chapter heading.
