2 Sixteene yeere olde was he, when he was made King, and he reigned two and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Iecholiah of Ierusalem.

Sixteen years old, was he when he began to reign, and, fifty-two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jecholiah, of Jerusalem.

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

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Amaziah his father, had done.

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

Only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people 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.
