Exegesis
The subject shifts in vəyōtām-ben-hammeleḵ {וְיוֹתָ֤ם־בֶּן־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ | vəyōtām-ben-hammeleḵ}, identifying Jotham as the king’s son, whose authority is marked by ʿal-habbayit {עַל־הַבַּ֔יִת | ʿal-habbayit} ‘over the house’.
In context — 2 Kings 15:5
And the LORD struck the king and he became a leper until the day of his death, and he lived in the house of separation. And Jotham, the king’s son, was over the house judging the people of the land.
