did what was right in the eyes of the LORD
on 2 Kings 15:3-7
Azariah did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done. The LORD afflicted the king with leprosy. Where Kings gives no reason, 2 Chronicles 26:16 to 21 gives one: pride carried him past the priests into the sanctuary to burn incense.

buried near them
The Berean wording, buried near them, matches 2 Chronicles 26:23, where he lies in a field belonging to the kings because he was a leper. Gill read it the same way. Isaiah dates his vision of the Lord on the throne to the year of this death, at Isaiah 6:1.
