Contextual Overview
1 In the twenty seventh year of Jeroboam the king of Israel Azariah the son of Amaziah the king of Judah began to reign. 2 He was a son of sixteen years when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did the right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah did; 4 however, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. 5 And Jehovah touched the king, and he was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in a separate house, and Jotham the son of the king was over the house, judging the people of the land. 6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah? 7 And Azariah lay with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
