2 Kings 15:1-5

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king.

He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with everything that his father Amaziah had done.

Only the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

And the Lord afflicted the king, so that he had leprosy to the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, while Jotham the king’s son was in charge of the household, judging the people of the land.
