1 In the twentie and seuenth yere of Ieroboam king of Israel, began Azaria sonne of Amazia king of Iuda to raigne
2 Sixteene yeres olde was he when he was made king, and he raigned two and fiftie yeres in Hierusalem: and his mothers name was Iecholiahu, of Hierusalem
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, according to all thinges as did his father Amaziahu
4 Saue that the high places were not put a way: For the people offered and burnt incense still on the high places
5 And the Lorde smote the king, and he was a leaper vnto the day of his death, and dwelt in a seuerall house at libertie: and Iotham the kinges sonne gouerned the palace, and iudged the people of the lande
6 The rest of the wordes that concerne Azaria, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the cronicles of the kinges of Iuda
7 And so Azaria slept with his fathers, and they buryed him with his fathers in the citie of Dauid, and Iotham his sonne raigned in his steade
