Azariah (son of Amaziah)
아사랴 (아마샤의 아들)
Named at 2 Kings 14:21: “All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.” At 14:22 WEB goes on, “He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 아마샤가 그 열조와 함께 잔 후에 아사랴가 엘랏을 건축하여 유다에 돌렸더라, after Amaziah slept with his fathers, Azariah built Elath and restored it to Judah. 15:1–2 says, “In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.” At 15:3–5 he does that which is right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, though the high places are not taken away; and “The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.” 15:7 says, “Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.” 15:8, 15:17, 15:23 and 15:27 give the years of Azariah king of Judah for the reigns of Zechariah, Menahem, Pekahiah and Pekah over Israel.

2 Kings 14:21 and 15:1–7 say that Azariah the son of Amaziah was made king of Judah, and that Jotham his son reigned in his place. 15:30, 15:32 and 15:34 call Jotham the son of Uzziah, and Matthew 1:8–9 records that Joram became the father of Uzziah, and Uzziah the father of Jotham. 15:13 has Shallum begin to reign “in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah”, and 15:17 has Menahem begin to reign “In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah”. Both editions write the two names differently (the Korean Revised Version 아사랴 and 웃시야, WEB Azariah and Uzziah). The text does not say whether Azariah and Uzziah are the same man. This collection records Azariah the son of Amaziah apart from Uzziah, records both as Jotham’s father as the verses name them (Azariah at 15:7, Uzziah at 15:30–34), and does not decide whether they are the same man.
