1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah,26:1 Uzziah is also called Azariah; throughout this chapter; see 2 Kings 14:21.who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth26:2 Eloth is a variant of Elath; see LXX, 2 Kings 14:22, and 2 Kings 16:6.and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah26:2 Literally after the kingrested with his fathers.
3 Uzziahwas sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalemfifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziahhad done. 5 He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear26:5 Many Hebrew manuscripts, LXX, and Syriac; other Hebrew manuscripts through the visionof God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
6 Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdodand among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites. 8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
9 Uzziahbuilt towers in Jerusalemat the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them. 10 Since he had much livestock in the foothills26:10 Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judeaand in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.
11 Uzziahhad an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeielthe scribe and Maaseiahthe officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers. 12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600. 13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
14 Uzziahsupplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones. 15 And in Jerusalemhe made skillfully designed devices to shoot26:15 Or to protect those who shootarrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously until he became powerful.
16 But when Uzziah became powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Then Azariahthe priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him. 18 They took their stand against King Uzziahand said, "Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God."
19 Uzziah, with a censer in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But while he raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense, leprosy26:19 Leprosy was a term used for various skin diseases; see Leviticus 13.broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariahthe chief priest and all the priests turned to him and saw his leprous forehead, they rushed him out. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had afflicted him.
21 So King Uzziahwas a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jothamhad charge of the royal palace and governed the people of the land.
22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiahson of Amoz. 23 And Uzziahrested with his fathers and was buried near them26:23 Literally with his fathersin a field of burial that belonged to the kings, for the people said, "He was a leper." And his son Jothamreigned in his place.
