Context of 2 Kings 15:4
2He was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5And Jehovah smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate 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?
