2 Kings 15:5-7

5 The Lord afflicted the king with an illness; he suffered from a skin disease[a] until the day he died. He lived in separate quarters,[b] while his son Jotham was in charge of the palace and ruled over the people of the land.
6 The rest of the events of Azariah’s reign, including all his accomplishments, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.[c] 7 Azariah passed away[d] and was buried[e] with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jotham replaced him as king.
