2 Chronicles 26:16-23

16But 1when he became strong, his heart was so 2proud that he acted corruptly, and he was untrue 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 have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been untrue 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, 8leprosy broke out on his forehead in the presence of 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 quickly removed him from there, and he himself also hurried to get out because the Lord had stricken him. 219King Uzziah had leprosy to the day of his death; and he lived in 10a separate house, afflicted as he was with leprosy, for he was cut off from the house of the Lord. And his son Jotham was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

22Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, the first to the last, the prophet 11Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written. 23So Uzziah 12lay down with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers 13in the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He had leprosy.” And his son Jotham became king in his place.
