1And all the people of Judah took Uzziah and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah when he was sixteen years old.[#2Ch 22:1; #26:1 Also known as Azariah in 2Ki 15.]
2He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after Amaziah the king slept with his fathers.
3Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. The name of his mother was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.[#2Ki 15:2–3]
4And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord as everything his father Amaziah had done.
5And he sought after God in the days of Zechariah, the one who instructed him in the fear of the Lord . And in the days that he sought after the Lord , God caused him to succeed.[#2Ch 24:2; #Da 1:17]
6He went out to make war with the Philistines, and he broke through the walls at Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod. Then he built cities in Ashdod and among the Philistines.[#Isa 14:29]
7And God brought him aid against the Philistines and Arabians, those living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.[#2Ch 21:16]
8And the Ammonites gave a gift to Uzziah, and his name spread even to the border of Egypt because he became quite powerful.[#Ge 19:38; #2Sa 8:2]
9Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress; and he fortified them.[#2Ki 14:13; Ne 3:13]
10And he built towers in the wilderness, and he dug out many cisterns because he had a large amount of livestock, both in the lowland Shephelah and in the plain. He also had workers in the fields and vineyards in the hills and fertile orchards, for he loved agriculture.[#Ge 26:18–21]
11And Uzziah had an army prepared for battle, those who went out for war as companies in the number of their divisions by the appointment of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer, and Hananiah a commander of the king.
12The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred.
13And under their hand was a mighty army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred who were able to go to battle as a strong army and to help the king against his enemies.
14And Uzziah prepared for the entire army shields, long spears, helmets, scale armor, bows, and slings for stones.
15In Jerusalem he made war machines by skilled men to be placed on towers and corners to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went out for a great distance. He received great help until he was even more powerful.
16And as he grew strong, his heart grew more proud, leading to his destruction. Then he acted unfaithfully against the Lord his God, for he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar.[#Dt 8:14; 2Ch 25:19]
17But Azariah the priest entered in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord —men of valor.[#1Ch 6:10]
18And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord , but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful, and there will be no honor for you from the Lord God.”[#Ex 30:7–8; Nu 18:7]
19Then Uzziah was enraged, and in his hand was a censer for incense. And when he became angry with the priests, leprosy appeared on his forehead in front of the priests in the house of the Lord , near the altar of incense.[#Nu 12:10]
20Then Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he had leprosy on his forehead; and they hastened to remove him from there, and he also hurried to leave because the Lord had struck him.
21So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day of his death. He dwelt in a separate house with his unclean disease because he was cut off from the house of the Lord . Then Jotham his son was over the house of the king, and he governed the people of the land.[#Lev 13:46]
22Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz, has written them.[#Isa 1:1; 6:1]
23So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the burial field belonging to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” And Jotham his son ruled in his place.[#2Ch 21:20; 28:27]
