Azariah Reigns in Judah

2 Kings 15

1 v In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, w Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 He was x sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 4 y Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 5 z And the Lord touched the king, so that he was a leper 1 to the day of his death, a and he lived in a separate house. 2 And Jotham the king's son was over the household, governing 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 b in the city of David, and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
