Azariah Reigns in Judah

2 Kings 15

¹ In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, _a Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, _b became king. ² He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. ³ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, ⁴ _c except that the ₁ high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ⁵ Then the LORD _d struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his _e death; so he _f dwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king's son was over the royal 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 So Azariah ₂ rested with his fathers, and _g they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.
