In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam (II), king of Israel, Azariah , the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, reigned; (In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam II, the king of Israel, Azariah, also known as Uzziah, the son of Amaziah, the king of Judah, began to reign;)
2
he was of sixteen years, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
3
And he did that, that was pleasant before the Lord (And he did what was pleasing before the Lord), by all things that Amaziah, his father, had done;
4
nevertheless he destroyed not [the] high things; (for) yet the people made sacrifice, and burnt incense in (the) high things. (but he did not destroy the hill shrines; for yet the people made sacrifice, and burned incense at the hill shrines.)
5
Forsooth the Lord smote the king, and he was leprous till into the day of his death; and he dwelled in an house freely by himself (and he lived alone in a house, free of all duties). Soothly Jotham, [the] son of the king, governed the palace, and deemed the people of the land.
6
Forsooth the residue of the words of Azariah, and all things that he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Judah?
7
And Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his elder men in the city of David; and Jotham, his son, reigned for him.
8
In the eight and thirtieth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Zachariah , the son of Jeroboam, reigned upon Israel in Samaria six months. (In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah, or Uzziah, the king of Judah, Zachariah, the son of Jeroboam, began to reign upon Israel in Samaria, and he reigned for six months.)
9
And he did that, that was evil before the Lord, as his fathers did; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, that made Israel to do sin.
10
Forsooth Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him in Samaria; and Shallum smote him before the people, and killed him, and reigned for him.
11
And the residue of the words of Zachariah, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Israel?
12
This is the word of the Lord, which he spake to Jehu, and said, Thy sons till to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of thee of Israel; and it was done so. (This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, and said, Thy sons unto the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel; and so it was done.)
