2 Kings 15:1-7

Azariah (Uzziah) Reigns in Judah

2 Kings 15:1-7
1
In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Azarias, son of Amasias, king of Juda.
2
He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia, of Jerusalem.
3
And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father, Amasias, had done.
4
But the high places he did not destroy, for the people sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places.
5
And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham, the king's son, governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.
6
And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
7
And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham, his son, reigned in his stead.
