2 Kings 15:1-5

New King James Version

Azariah Reigns in Judah^(A)

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, ^(B)Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, ^(C)became 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 (D)except that the ^[a]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ⁵ Then the Lord ^(E)struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his ^(F)death; so he ^(G)dwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal house, judging the people of the land.
