17 Then 1Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the LORD, valiant men.
18 2They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, "3It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, 4but 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."
19 But Uzziah, with a censer in his hand for burning incense, was enraged; and while he was enraged with the priests, 5the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside * the altar of incense.
20 Azariah 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.
21 6King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in 7a 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.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet 8Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written.
23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers 9in the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." And Jotham his son became king in his place.
