Uzziah does well
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. He built Eloth and brought it back to Judah, after the king died and joined his ancestors. Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name too was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. He did what was right in the Lord's sight, according to everything his father Amaziah did. Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who understood the visions of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. He went out and fought the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod. And he built cities round Ashdod and among the Philistines. God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who lived in Gurbaal, and the Meunites. The Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah. And his name spread right to the entrance of Egypt, because he made himself very strong. What's more, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the turning of the wall, and made them strong. He built towers in the wilderness too and dug abundant wells. Because he had abundant cattle, both in the lowland and in the plains, and farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel. Because he loved the ground. What's more, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their count by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders. The whole number of the family heads of the strong brave men was two thousand six hundred. Under their hand was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who went to war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. Uzziah prepared for them, through all the army, shields and spears and helmets and coats of mail and bows and slings to sling stones. He made engines in Jerusalem, thought up by clever men, to be on the towers and on the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones with. And his name spread far off, because he was wonderfully helped till he was strong.

He built Eloth and brought it back to Judah, after the king died with his fathers. Uzziah was sixteen years old when he started to rule, and he ruled fifty-two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name too was Jekoliah of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to everything his father Amaziah did. And he looked for God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God. And as long as he looked for the Lord, God made him do well. And he went out and fought the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod. And he built towns round Ashdod and among the Philistines.

And his name spread right to the entrance of Egypt, because he made himself very strong. What's more, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the turning of the wall, and made them strong. He built towers in the wilderness too and dug plenty of wells. Because he had plenty of cattle, both in the lowland and in the plains, and farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel. Because he loved the ground. What's more, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their count by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains. The whole number of the heads of the fathers of the strong men of valour was two thousand six hundred. And under their hand was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. And Uzziah got ready for them, through all the army, shields and spears and helmets and coats of mail and bows and slings to sling stones. And he made engines in Jerusalem, thought up by clever men, to be on the towers and on the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones with. And his name spread far off, because he was wonderfully helped till he was strong.
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims. And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry. Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred. And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

Pride and the disease
But once Uzziah became strong, his heart became proud — and that brought him down. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, strong men. They confronted King Uzziah and told him: Uzziah, it isn't your place to burn incense to the Lord. That's for the priests, Aaron's descendants, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary. You've been unfaithful, and this won't bring you honour from the Lord God. Uzziah became furious. He had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, and while he raged at the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead there in the temple of the Lord, beside the incense altar. Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there it was — he had the disease in his forehead. And they hurried him out of there. Yes, he hurried to go out himself too, because the Lord had struck him. Uzziah the king was a man with a skin disease to the day of his death, and lived in a house on his own, being a man with a skin disease. Because he was cut off from the temple of the Lord. And Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz wrote down. Uzziah died, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial that belonged to the kings. Because they said: He's got a skin disease. And Jotham his son ruled in his place.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his wrecking. Because he broke faith against the Lord his God and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, strong men. And they stood up against Uzziah the king and said to him: It isn't for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are set apart to burn incense. Go out of the holy place, because you've broken faith. And it won't be for your honour from the Lord God. Then Uzziah was angry, and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, the disease came up in his forehead in front of the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the altar of incense. And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there it was — he had the disease in his forehead. And they hurried him out of there. Yes, he hurried to go out himself too, because the Lord had struck him. And Uzziah the king was a man with a skin disease to the day of his death, and lived in a house on his own, being a man with a skin disease. Because 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. Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz wrote down. So Uzziah died, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial that belonged to the kings. Because they said: He's got a skin disease. And Jotham his son ruled in his place.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God. Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 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. Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
