14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields and spears and helmets and coats of mail and bows and slings to cast stones.
15 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 with. And his name spread far abroad, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
16 But when he was strengthened, his heart lifted itself up unto corruption, for he rebelled against the Lord his God, entering into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, that were valiant men.
18 And they withstood Uzziah, the king, and said unto him, It does not pertain 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 rebelled; neither shall it be for thy glory before the Lord God.
19 Then Uzziah was angry and had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and in this his anger with the priests, the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, next to the altar of incense.
20 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 there, and he also hastened to go out because the Lord had smitten him.
