iOS (Swift) project needs to read an Azure SQL database

I am creating an iOS project that needs to read a SQL database in Azure. I have the database Server location, port, username, and password. I don't need to write to the database, just read it. I am more familiar with Firebase or Parse and have never used Azure. How do I even go about starting this? I tried the sample project that Azure makes for you but I don't have any tables? Do I need this? Any help would be welcome.

Azure Mobile App Service can connect with your existing SQL database this thread explains the process where you use the existing SQL database. With this option Azure manages most of the inner workings for you.

If you want to build the Rest API from "scratch" using your existing SQL database You have some more options: Azure API Management allows you to publish API's securely and at scale, A server less Azure Function like the example in this article Rest API with Azure Functions and Azure SQL Database or build a rest API using an Azure Logic App which doesn't require you to write code. You could also use Nodejs or many other tools you just need to evaluate what would work best for your use case.
