5. And Jehovah smiteth the king, and he is a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelleth in a separate house, and Jotham son of the king [is] over the house, judging the people of the land.
6. And the rest of the matters of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

9. and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did his fathers, he hath not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.
10. And Shallum son of Jabesh conspireth against him, and smiteth him before the people, and putteth him to death, and reigneth in his stead.
11. And the rest of the matters of Zechariah, lo, they are written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
