2Ki 15:1-2 | MHM | STEP | The Reign of Azariah. This section gives a short summary of the reign of Azariah (also called Uzziah), king of Judah. Azariah began his rule when he was young and reigned for a long time. He mostly did what was right in the sight of the Lord , but he did not remove the high places where people continued to make sacrifices. The most unique detail about his reign is that God punished him with leprosy because of his pride. This made him live apart from others for the rest of his life. Even though Azariah started well, he did not finish well, reminding us that it is important to remain faithful to God all the way to the end. v. 1-2 : Azariah became king of Judah at a young age and ruled for fifty-two years. His long reign was a blessing to the nation because, for the most part, he did what was right (2 Kings 15:2 ).
