2 Kings 15:3 In-Context

1 Azariah, Amaziah's son, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of Israel's King Jeroboam.

2 He was 16 years old when he became king, and he ruled for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

3 He did what was right in the LORD's eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done.

4 However, the shrines weren't removed. People kept sacrificing and burning incense at them.

5 Now the LORD afflicted the king with a skin disease that he had until his dying day, so he lived in a separate house. The king's son Jotham supervised the palace administration and governed the people of the land.
