151 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah, 2 a son of sixteen years was he in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother 'is' Jecholiah of Jerusalem, 3 and he doth that which 'is' right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did, 4 only, the high places have not turned aside—yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places. 5 And Jehovah smiteth the king, and he is a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelleth in a separate house, and Jotham son of the king 'is' over the house, judging the people of the land. 6 And the rest of the matters of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 7 And Azariah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers, in the city of David, and reign doth Jotham his son in his stead.

Uzziah did for the most part that which was right. It was happy for the kingdom that a good reign was a long one.
