Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3
He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4
However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
5
Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land.
6
Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
7
Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
8
In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
9
He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done: he didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
10
Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place.
11
Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12
This was the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. So it came to pass.
