15 1 Azariah the King of Judah becometh a leper. 5 Of Jotham, 10 Shallum, 14 Menahem,  23 Pekahiah, 30 Uzziah, 32 Jotham, 38 and Ahaz.

In the [a]seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

Sixteen years old was he, when he was made king, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

And he did [b]uprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

But the high places were not put away: for the people yet offered, and burned incense in the high places.

And the Lord [c]smote the king, and he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in an house apart, and Jotham the king’s son governed the house, and [d]judged the people of the land.

Concerning 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?

So Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
