177 : Basic English : 2 Kings 15,16; Proverbs 5 1. In the twenty-seventh year of the rule of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah.

2. He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3. And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.

4. But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

5. And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.
