5 1And the LORD touched the king, so that he was a leper[a] to the day of his death, 2and he lived in a separate house.[b] 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 3in the city of David, and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
