This verse introduces Azariah, also called Uzziah, who became king of Judah at sixteen and reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The narrator regularly gives a king's age, length of reign and mother's name, and the mother's name here may signal that Jecoliah, a Jerusalemite, was remembered at court.
