4 (A)Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 5 (B)And the Lord touched the king, so that he was a leper[a] to the day of his death, (C)and he lived in a separate house.[b] And Jotham the king's son was over the household, governing the people of the land. 6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
