Azariah

Azariah (also called Uzziah) was a 16-year-old who became the 10th king of Judah, reigning for 52 years in Jerusalem (c. 8th century BC)

. Detailed in 2 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 26, he initially did right in the Lord's eyes but was later struck with leprosy for pridefully offering incense in the Temple.

Key Details of Azariah's Reign:
  • Reign & Character: Ruled 52 years, described as generally righteous, yet he did not remove the high places of idolatry.
  • Leprosy & Co-regency: Due to his leprosy, he lived in a separate house, and his son Jotham managed the palace and governed the people.
  • Biblical Sources: His life is recorded in 2 Kings 15:1-7 and 2 Chronicles 26, which references the "Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah".
  • Alternative Name: He is frequently referred to as Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26 and in connection with the prophet Isaiah.
  • Context: He ruled during the same time as King Jeroboam II of Israel.
Key 2 Chronicles 26 Highlights:
  • Military Success: He fought against the Philistines and Arabs and strengthened Jerusalem's walls.
  • Agricultural Focus: He was a lover of the soil and built towers in the desert, digging many cisterns.
  • The Downfall: His strength led to pride, causing him to enter the Temple to burn incense—a role reserved for priests—leading to his immediate leprosy.
