All of them were recorded in the genealogies
This phrase highlights the importance of genealogical records in ancient Israel. Genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities, inheritance rights, and priestly duties. They served as a means to preserve the history and lineage of the people, ensuring that the promises made to the patriarchs were remembered and fulfilled. The recording of genealogies also reflects the meticulous nature of the chronicler, who sought to provide an accurate account of Israel's history. This practice is seen throughout the Old Testament, such as in Genesis 5 and 10, and in the New Testament, where the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 establish His rightful place in the line of David.

during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah
Jotham was the son of Uzziah and reigned as king of Judah from approximately 750 to 735 BC. His reign is noted for his construction projects and military successes, as well as his efforts to maintain the worship of Yahweh, despite the people's continued idolatry. Jotham's reign is described in 2 Kings 15:32-38 and 2 Chronicles 27. His time as king was marked by relative stability and prosperity, which may have facilitated the recording of genealogies. Jotham's faithfulness to God is contrasted with the idolatry of the northern kingdom, highlighting the divided nature of Israel during this period.

and Jeroboam king of Israel
This refers to Jeroboam II, who reigned over the northern kingdom of Israel from approximately 793 to 753 BC. His reign was characterized by economic prosperity and territorial expansion, as recorded in 2 Kings 14:23-29. Despite these successes, Jeroboam II continued the idolatrous practices initiated by the first Jeroboam, leading to spiritual decline. The mention of Jeroboam alongside Jotham underscores the divided monarchy, with Israel and Judah following different paths both politically and spiritually. The prophets Amos and Hosea ministered during Jeroboam II's reign, calling for repentance and warning of impending judgment due to Israel's unfaithfulness.

king of Israel
The title "king of Israel" during this period refers to the ruler of the northern kingdom, distinct from the southern kingdom of Judah. The division of the united monarchy occurred after Solomon's reign, leading to separate lines of kings for Israel and Judah. This division is a significant theme in the historical books, illustrating the consequences of disobedience to God's covenant. The northern kingdom, often plagued by idolatry and political instability, eventually fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC. The chronicler's inclusion of both kings in this verse serves to provide a historical context for the genealogical records, emphasizing the continuity of God's people despite political fragmentation.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jotham, King of Judah
Jotham was the son of Uzziah and reigned as king of Judah. His reign is noted for his efforts to fortify the kingdom and his faithfulness to God, although the people continued in corrupt practices.

2. Jeroboam, King of Israel
This refers to Jeroboam II, who was a king of Israel known for his military successes and expansion of the kingdom. Despite his achievements, he continued the idolatrous practices of his predecessors.

3. Genealogical Registration
The act of recording genealogies was significant for maintaining tribal identities and inheritance rights among the Israelites. It was a way to preserve the history and lineage of the tribes.
Teaching Points
The Importance of Heritage and Identity
Understanding our spiritual heritage is crucial for maintaining our identity in Christ. Just as the Israelites valued their genealogies, Christians should value their spiritual lineage and the legacy of faith passed down through generations.

Leadership and Faithfulness
Jotham's example teaches us the importance of personal faithfulness to God, even when those around us may not follow. Leaders are called to uphold God's standards regardless of societal trends.

The Consequences of Idolatry
Jeroboam II's reign serves as a reminder of the dangers of idolatry. Despite external success, internal spiritual decay can lead to downfall. Christians must guard against allowing worldly success to overshadow their devotion to God.

The Role of Record Keeping in God's Plan
The meticulous recording of genealogies in the Bible underscores the value God places on order and history. This can encourage believers to be diligent in their own record-keeping, whether it be spiritual journaling or maintaining family histories.Verse 17. - The very form of the language of this verse would indicate that two genealogies are intended. This quite tallies with the fact that there were two chronicles, one for each division of the nation, i.e. "the chronicles of the kings of Judah" (2 Kings 15:6) and "the chronicles of the kings of Israel" (2 Kings 15:11), in which same chapter both Jeroboam (II.) of Israel and Jotham of Judah are spoken of, the latter beginning to reign in Judah some twenty years (the exact chronology is very confused here) after the death of the former. Although presumably it would be an object of closer interest with Israel than with Judah to effect the registration of the Gadite genealogy, yet it was most just that Judah should do so as well. This would both vindicate Judah's own right place and be a happy omen of the continued predominance of her position compared with that of Israel. Independently of the question of effecting the actual registration, however, it is quite possible that, so long as history ran by the side of history. Israel would gather and keep all it could of Judah, and Judah all it could of Israel.
