2 Kings 15:5

³ And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

⁴ Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.

And the LORD afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

⁶ As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

⁷ And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
