2 Kings 15:3-5
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
3 And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.
4 But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
5 And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham the king's soil governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.
