2 Chronicles 26:16-23
16But 1when he becameH2388 strongH2393, his heartH3820 was so 2proudH1361 that he actedH7843 corruptlyH7843, and he was unfaithfulH4603 to the LordH3068 his GodH430, for 3he enteredH935 the templeH1964 of the LordH3068 to burnH6999 incenseH6999 on the altarH4196 of incenseH7004. 17Then 4AzariahH5838 the priestH3548 enteredH935 afterH310 him and with him eightyH8084 priestsH3548 of the LordH3068, valiantH2428 menH1121. 185They opposedH5975 UzziahH5818 the kingH4428 and saidH559 to him, “6It is not for you, UzziahH5818, to burnH6999 incenseH6999 to the LordH3068, 7but for the priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 who are consecratedH6942 to burnH6999 incenseH6999. GetH3318 out of the sanctuaryH4720, for you have beenH4603 unfaithfulH4603 and will have noH3808 honorH3519 from the LordH3068 GodH430.” 19But UzziahH5818, with a censerH4730 in his handH3027 for burningH6999 incenseH6999, was enragedH2196; and while he was enragedH2196 with the priestsH3548, 8the leprosyH6883 brokeH2224 out on his foreheadH4696 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, besideH4480H5921 the altarH4196 of incenseH7004. 20AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 and allH3605 the priestsH3548 lookedH6437 at him, and beholdH2009, he was leprousH6879 on his foreheadH4696; and they hurriedH926 him out of thereH8033, and he himselfH1931 alsoH1571 hastenedH1765 to getH3318 out becauseH3588 the LordH3068 had smittenH5060 him. 219KingH4428 UzziahH5818 was a leperH6879 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194; and he livedH3427 in 10a separateH2669 houseH1004, beingH6879 a leperH6879, for he was cutH1504 offH1504 from the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. And JothamH3147 his sonH1121 was overH5921 the king’sH4428 houseH1004 judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
22Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of UzziahH5818, firstH7223 to lastH314, the prophetH5030 11IsaiahH3470, the sonH1121 of AmozH531, has writtenH3789. 23So UzziahH5818 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 12in the fieldH7704 of the graveH6900 whichH834 belonged to the kingsH4428, for they saidH559, “He is a leperH6879.” And JothamH3147 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
