2 Chronicles 26:16-21

16But 1when he became strong, his heart was so 2proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, for 3he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17Then 4Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, valiant men. 185They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, “6It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, 7but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the Lord God.” 19But Uzziah, with a censer in his hand for burning incense, was enraged; and while he was enraged with the priests, 8the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the altar of incense. 20Azariah 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 the Lord had smitten him. 219King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in 10a separate house, being a leper, for he was cut off from the house of the Lord. And Jotham his son was over the king’s house judging the people of the land.
