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

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

and seven
thousand
and five

that made
war
with mighty
power,
to help

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.

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.
