In the seuen and twentieth yeere of Ieroboam King of Israel ,
began Azariah ,
sonne of Amaziah King of Iudah to reigne .
*
Sixteene yeere olde was he ,
when he was made King ,
and he reigned two and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem :
and his mothers name was Iecholiah of Ierusalem .
*
And he did [
that which was ] (
note :)
As long as he listened to Zachariah the prophet .(:
note )
right in the sight of the LORD ,
according to all that his father Amaziah had done ;
*
But the hie places were not put away :
for the people yet offered ,
and burned incense in the hie places .
*
And the LORD (
note :)
His father and grandfather were slain by their subjects and servants ,
and he because he would usurp the priest '
s office contrary to God '
s ordinance was smitten immediately by the hand of God with the leprosy , (
2Ch_26
:21 ).(:
note )
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 ,
As viceroy or deputy to his father .
judging the people of the land .
*
Concerning the rest of the actes of Azariah ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah ?
*
So Azariah slept with his fathers ,
and they buryed him with his fathers in the citie of Dauid ,
and Iotham his sonne reigned in his stead .
