2 Kings 15:2
Verse 2 of 38. The 15th of 25 chapters in 2 Kings, in History.
1In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.
2He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.
6Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
