2 Chronicles 26:16-23

16But when he was strong, his heartH3820 was lifted up, so that he did corruptlyH7843, and he trespassed against Jehovah his GodH430; for he wentH935 into the templeH1964 of Jehovah to burn incenseH7004 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004. 17And AzariahH5838 the priestH3548 wentH935 in after him, and with him fourscore priestsH3548 of Jehovah, that were valiant men: 18and they withstood UzziahH5818 the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, UzziahH5818, to burn incenseH6999 unto Jehovah, but to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, that are consecratedH6942 to burn incenseH6999: goH3318 out of the sanctuaryH4720; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honorH3519 from Jehovah GodH430. 19Then UzziahH5818 was wroth; and he had a censerH4730 in his handH3027 to burn incenseH7004; and while he was wroth with the priestsH3548, the leprosy brake forth in his foreheadH4696 before the priestsH3548 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, beside the altarH4196 of incenseH7004. 20And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and all the priestsH3548, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprousH6879 in his foreheadH4696, and they thrust him out quickly from thence; yea, himself hasted alsoH1571 to goH3318 out, because Jehovah had smitten him. 21And UzziahH5818 the kingH4428 wasH1961 a leper unto the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, and dweltH3427 in a separate houseH1004, being a leper; for he wasH1961 cutH1504 off from the houseH1004 of Jehovah: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 wasH1961 over the king’sH4428 houseH1004, judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 22Now the restH3499 of the acts of UzziahH5818, firstH7223 and lastH314, did IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531, writeH3789. 23So UzziahH5818 slept with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the fieldH7704 of burialH6900 which belonged to the kingsH4428; for they saidH559, He is a leper: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
