21And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.22He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

1In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.2Sixteen 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.3And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;4Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.5And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.6And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?7So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
