*
In the twenty-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 ,
fifty-two years ,
reigned he in Jerusalem ,
and ,
the name of his mother ,
was Jecholiah ,
of Jerusalem .
*
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh ,
according to all that ,
Amaziah his father ,
had done .
*
Only ,
the high places ,
took they not away ,
still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places .
*
And Yahweh smote the king ,
so that he became a leper ,
until the day of his death ,
and dwelt in a lazar-house ,
and ,
Jotham ,
son of the king ,
was over the house ,
judging the people of the land .
*
Now ,
the rest of the story of Azariah ,
and all that he did ,
are ,
they ,
not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah .
*
And 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 .
