Leeser(i)
1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jerobo’am the king of Israel became ‘Azaryah, the son of Amazyah king of Judah, king.
2 Sixteen years old was he when he became king, and two and fifty years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Yecholyahu of Jerusalem.
3 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Amazyahu his father had done;
4 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.
5 And the Lord afflicted the king with leprosy, and he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in the leper-house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the house, and judged the people of the land.
6 And the rest of the acts of ‘Azaryahu, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
7 And ‘Azaryah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.
