19Uzziah, who was holding a censer to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests in the house of the Lord, near the altar of incense.
20Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, and they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead. So they hurried him out, and he himself was eager to leave because the Lord had afflicted him.
21King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house, excluded from the temple of the Lord. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22The rest of the events of Uzziah's reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
23Uzziah rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a field for royal burials, for people said, 'He had leprosy.' And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.
