1
In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel Azarias the son of Amessias king of Juda began to reign.
2
Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
3
And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all things that Amessias his father did.
4
Only he took not away of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
5
And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Joatham the king's son over the household, judging the people of the land.
