1. In the 27th shanah of Yarov`am Melech Yisroel began Azaryah Ben Amatzyah Melech Yehudah to reign as melech.
2. 16 years old was he when he began to reign as melech, and he reigned 52 shanah in Yerushalayim. And shem immo was Yecholyahu of Yerushalayim.
3. And he did that which was yashar in the eyes of Hashem, according to all that Amatzyah aviv had done;
4. However the [idolatrous] high places were not removed; the people offered zevakhim and burned ketoret still on the[idolatrous] high places.
5. And Hashem plagued HaMelech, so that he was metzorah unto his yom mot, and dwelt in a bais hachafeshit (separate house, leper asylum house). And Yotam Ben HaMelech was over the Bais (Palace), shofet (governing) the Am HaAretz.
6. And the rest of the acts of Azaryah, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L'Malkhei Yehudah?
7. So Azaryah slept with his avot; and they buried him with his avot in Ir Dovid; Yotam bno reigned in his place.
8. In the 38th year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah did Zecharyah Ben Yarov`am reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron six months.
