II Kings 15 Azariah, King of Judah

 II Kings 15

Azariah, King of Judah

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

2 He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Only the high places were not taken down, because the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

5 And the Lord struck the king, and he was a leper until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house; but Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

6 Now 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? 

7 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.
