2He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
4But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
5And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.
6Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
7And Azariah went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Jotham his son became king in his place.
8In the thirty-eighth year of Azaliah, king of Judah, Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, was king over Israel for six months.
