Azariah Reigns over Judah

^aIn the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king. 2 He was ^asixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was ¹Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 4 Only ^athe high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5 ^aThen Yahweh smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death. And he ^blived in a separate house, ¹while Jotham the king’s son was over the house, judging the people of the land. 6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 7 And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Jotham his son became king in his place.
