1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, ^aAzariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, ^bbecame king.

2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

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

4 ^aexcept that the¹ high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

5 Then the Lord ^astruck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his ^bdeath; so he ^cdwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal 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?
