Azariah of Judah.[a] 1 Azariah, the son of Amaziah, the king of Judah, began to reign during the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, the king of Israel. 2 He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah who was from Jerusalem.
3 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, doing everything as Amaziah, his father, had done.
