14:026:014 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields,
           and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings
           to cast stones.

14:026:015 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.

14:026:016 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.

14:026:017 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him
           fourscore priests of the lord, that were valiant men: 

14:026:018 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.

14:026:019 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.

14:026:020 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.

14:026:021 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.

14:026:022 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah
           the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

14:026:023 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.

14:027:001 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign,
           and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name
           also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

14:027:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the lord,
           according to all that his father Uzziah did:  howbeit he
           entered not into the temple of the lord.  And the people did
           yet corruptly.
