1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jerobo´am king of Israel began Azari´ah son of Amazi´ah king of Judah to reign.
2 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 Jecholi´ah of Jerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amazi´ah had done;
4 save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
