Context

Azariah Reigns in Judah

⁶As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ⁷And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.

Summary

This verse recounts the reign of Azariah (also known as Uzziah) over Judah, highlighting his faithfulness to the Lord. Despite his commitment to God, Azariah did not remove the high places of worship, which were centers of idolatry. This compromise ultimately led to his downfall, as he was struck with leprosy for attempting to burn incense in the temple. The narrative serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating the importance of wholehearted obedience to God's commands and the consequences of compromising with sin.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him,.... A friend of his, as Josephus (q) calls him, encouraged by the dissatisfaction of the people to him: and smote him before the people, and slew him; in a public manner, the people consenting to it, and approving of it, not liking Zachariah to be their king: and reigned in his stead; though but a very short time. (q) Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 1.
