1 Azariah Becomes King of JudahAmaziah’s son Azariah began reigning during the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
2 He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 52 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
3 He did what the LORD considered to be right, just as his father Amaziah had done in everything,
4 except that the high places were never removed, and the people kept on sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5 The LORD struck the king so that he was afflicted with leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house while his son Jotham managed the household and ruled the people who lived in the land. 6 Now the rest of Azariah’s activities, including everything he did, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, are they not? 7 Later, Azariah died, as had his ancestors, and they buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jotham then reigned in his place.
