^(C1)In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king.

He was ^(C1)sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was ^(F1)Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

He did what was right in the sight of the LORD, in accordance with everything that his father Amaziah had done.

Only ^(C1)the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

^(C1)And the LORD afflicted the king, so that he had leprosy to the day of his death. And he ^(C2)lived in a separate house, ^(F1)while Jotham the king's son was in charge of the household, judging the people of the land.

Now as for 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?

And Azariah ^(F1)lay down with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Jotham became king in his place.
