2 Chronicles 26:16-23
Uzziah’s Pride
16But awhen he became strong, his heart was so 1proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to Yahweh his God. And bhe entered the temple of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17Then aAzariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, men of valor. 18aAnd they stood against Uzziah the king and said to him, “bIt is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, cbut for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are set apart as holy to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from Yahweh God.” 19But Uzziah, with a censer in his hand for burning incense, was enraged; and while he was enraged with the priests, athe leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense. 20And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous on his forehead; and they hurried him out of there, and he himself also hastened to get out because Yahweh had smitten him. 21aSo King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in ba separate house, being a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. And Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet aIsaiah, the son of Amoz, has written. 23So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers ain the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” And Jotham his son became king in his place.
