Verse 2 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Kings. Azariah, king of Judah, receives a relatively positive evaluation, although the high places remain. A skin disease forces him to live separately from the royal household, and Jotham administers the affairs of the kingdom. The division between the king’s role and practical administration shows that illness affects even the political sphere. The section concludes with Azariah’s death and burial. The reign is presented through the usual formula of Kings, combining spiritual evaluation with concrete events to construct the portrait of the monarch.
