3 He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done.
4 However, the shrines weren’t removed. People kept sacrificing and burning incense at them.

7 Azariah died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.
8 Zechariah, Jeroboam’s son, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-eighth year of Judah’s King Azariah. He ruled for six months.
