2 Kings 15:4-7
New King James Version
4 (A)except that the [a]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5 Then the Lord (B)struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his (C)death; so he (D)dwelt 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? 7 So Azariah [b]rested with his fathers, and (E)they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.
