2 Kings 15:5 Context
3And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; 4Saue that the high places were not remoued: the people sacrificed, and burnt incense still on the high places. 5¶ And the Lord smote the king, so that hee was a Leper vnto the day of his death, and dwelt in a seuerall house, and Iotham the kings sonne was ouer the house, iudging the people of the land. 6And the rest of the actes of Azariah, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the kings of Iudah? 7So Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of Dauid, and Iotham his sonne reigned in his stead.
