1. In the twenty-seventh year of Yaroḇ‛am sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Azaryah son of Amatsyah, sovereign of Yehuḏah, began to reign.
2. He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Yeḵolyahu of Yerushalayim.
3. And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his father Amatsyahu did,
4. however, the high places were not taken away. The people still slaughtered and burned incense on the high places.
5. And יהוה smote the sovereign, so that he was a leper until the day of his death, and he dwelt in a separate house. And Yotham son of the sovereign was over the house, ruling the people of the land.
6. And the rest of the acts of Azaryahu, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah?
7. So Azaryah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ. And Yotham his son reigned in his place.
8. In the thirty-eighth year of Azaryahu sovereign of Yehuḏah, Zeḵaryahu son of Yaroḇ‛am began to reign over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron, for six months.
9. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Yaroḇ‛am son of Neḇat, who had made Yisra’ĕl sin.
10. And Shallum son of Yaḇĕsh conspired against him, and smote him in front of the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place.
