1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king.
2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3 He did right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4 Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
