3 And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.

4 But the hie places were not put away: for the people yet offered, and burned incense in the hie places.

Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.

5 And the Lord smote the King: and he was a leper vnto the day of his death, and dwelt in an house apart, and Iotham the kings sonne gouerned the house, and iudged the people of the land.

Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.

Then Menahem struck Tirzah, and all who were in it, and its borders around Tirzah. For they were not willing to open to him. And he killed all of its pregnant women, and he tore them open.
