16. But when he became strong, his heart grew so haughty that he acted corruptly. For he trespassed against Adonai his God by entering into the Temple of Adonai to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17. Then Azariah the kohen with 80 valiant kohanim of Adonai followed him in.
18. They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Adonai, but for the kohanim, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the Sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully. You will have no honor from Adonai Elohim.”
19. Then Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the kohanim tza'arat broke out on his forehead right in front of the kohanim in the House of Adonai, beside the incense altar.
20. When Azariah the chief kohen and all the other kohanim stared at him, behold, his forehead had tza'arat! So they rushed him out of there. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out because Adonai had smitten him.
21. King Uzziah had tza’arat until the day of his death. He lived in a separate house with tza'arat, for he was cut off from the House of Adonai. Jotham his son was in charge of the king’s house and governed the people of the land.
22. Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23. So Uzziah slept with his fathers and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial that belonged to the kings, for they said: “He had tza'arat.” Then Jotham his son became king in his place.
