2 Chronicles 26:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ Azariah the chief priest and all the priests saw how the Eternal struck the king with leprosy on his forehead. As Uzziah rushed for the door, the priests hurried him out because the disease made him ritually unclean and unable to approach the temple. ²¹ For the rest of his life, King Uzziah was cursed with leprosy, so he was banned from the Eternal’s temple and lived away from society. During his absence, his son Jotham was in charge and judged the Southern Kingdom.

²² The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, wrote about the rest of Uzziah’s actions.
