**Yotam** son of Uziyahu became king over Yehudah at age 25 for 16 years, from year 3167 in the 2nd year of Pekach son of Remalyahu. Even though Pekach and Yotam both reigned in the 52nd year of Uziyahu, the Radak wrote that the 2nd was to Pekach at the beginning of the two years, and this is not apparent. And according to what was said above in year 3165 regarding the years of the kings of Yisrael being set, see there [(Tzeda)].

Yotam was the High Priest. Hoshea, Yeshayahu, Amos, Michah the Morashti, and Oded were prophets [(section 7) (and in Sha'ar HaDorot it says the prophets who were in his father's days, his name was Yerocham and he was called Yotam because even though he reigned 16 years he was a gift to the Holy One, Blessed be He. He was reincarnated in Aviya **A**sher **B**ach **Y**erocham **Y**aton, acronym of Aviya (Avodat Shmuel Divrei HaYamim II 27).

He was reincarnated in the Rashbi (see there). The curses of Avimelech son of Yerubbaal were fulfilled in Yotam and in Gaal son of Botnah (see year 2528)].
