1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah 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 Jecholiah of Jerusalem. |
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; |
4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. |
