19 Uzziah (my strength is YHWH), 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 {YHWH} before the altar of incense, leprosy (Leprosy) broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah (YHWH has helped) the 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 {YHWH} had afflicted him. 21 So King Uzziah (my strength is YHWH) was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD {YHWH}, while his son Jotham (YHWH is perfect) had charge of the royal palace and governed the people of the land. 22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah (my strength is YHWH), from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah (YHWH has saved) son of Amoz (strong). 23 And Uzziah (my strength is YHWH) rested with his fathers and was buried near them \with his fathers/ in a field of burial that belonged to the kings, for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham (YHWH is perfect) reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 26:19-23, Berean Annotated Bible.
