^{1 Ref} In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

^{2 Ref} Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

^{3 Ref} And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

^{4 Ref} Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

^{5 Ref} And Jehovah smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land.

^{6 Ref} 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?
