Exegesis
The main clause begins with malakh {מָלַךְ | mālaḵ} ‘he reigned,’ after which the subject is supplied as azaryah {עֲזַרְיָה | ʿăzaryāh}, expanded by lineage (ben-amatsyah {בֶן־אֲמַצְיָה | ben-ʾămaṣyāh}) and title (melek yehudah {מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה | méleḵ yəhûḏāh}). English typically places the named subject earlier, so the formal and dynamic renderings reposition “Azariah” before the verbal idea (“began to reign / became king”) while preserving the Hebrew’s synchronizing date and full royal identification.
