In the
twenty and seventh year of
Jeroboam king of
Israel began
Azariah son of
Amaziah king of
Judah to
reign.

Sixteen* years old was he when he began to
reign, and he
reigned two and
fifty years in
Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was
Jecholiah of
Jerusalem.

And he
did that which was
right in the
sight of the
LORD, according to all that his
father Amaziah had
done;

Save that the high
places were not
removed: the
people sacrificed and burnt
incense still on the high
places.

And the
LORD smote the
king, so that he was a
leper unto the
day of his
death, and
dwelt in a
several house. And
Jotham the
king's son was over the
house, judging the
people of the
land.

And 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?

So
Azariah slept with his
fathers; and they
buried him with his
fathers in the
city of
David: and
Jotham his
son reigned in his stead.
