AZAR YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH
In the twenty-seventh year of Yarob Am sovereign of Yisra El Azar Yah son of Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah begins to reign
2 - a son of sixteen years when he begins to reign and he reigns fifty-two years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Yechol Yah of Yeru Shalem.
3 And he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all his father Amaz Yah worked;
4 except the bamahs are not turned aside: the people still sacrifice and incense on the bamahs.
5 And Yah Veh touches the sovereign so that he is a leper to the day of his death; and settles in a liberty house: and Yah Tham the son of the sovereign is over the house, judging the people of the land.
6 And the rest of the words of Azar Yah and all he works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah?
7 And Azar Yah lies down with his fathers; entombed with his fathers in the city of David: and Yah Tham his son reigns in his stead.
