2 Kings 15:1 In-Context

1 In the twenty-seventh year of Israel's King Jeroboam, Azariah son of Amaziah became king of Judah.
2 He was 16 years old when he became king; he reigned 52 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah; [she was] from Jerusalem.
3 Azariah did what was right in the Lord's sight just as his father Amaziah had done.
4 Yet, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5 The Lord afflicted the king, and he had a serious skin disease until the day of his death. He lived in a separate house,while Jotham, the king's son, was over the household governing the people of the land.
