Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah which was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

And in his greatness his heart arose, that he was marred: and transgressed against the LORD his God. For he went into the temple of the LORD to burn cense upon the altar of incense.

And he sought God while Zechariah - which taught in the visions of God - lived: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.

And he built Eloth and brought it again to Judah after the king was laid to rest with his fathers.

And he went to battle against the Philistines and brake down the walls of Gath, and the walls of Jabneh and the walls of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod and among the Philistines.

The rest of the acts of Uzziah, both first and last, did Isaiah the prophet the son of Amos write.

Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem over the corner gate, and over the valley gate, and over other corners, and made them strong.

And Uzziah the king continued a leper unto the day of his death and dwelt in a house at liberty: howbeit, he was cast out of the house of the LORD. And Jotham his son had the governance of the king's house and judged the people of the land.

And he built towers in the wilderness and digged many wells. For he had much cattle, both in the valley and also in the plain; and plowmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved husbandry.

And Uzziah was wroth and had cense in his hand to offer, and in his indignation against the priest, the leprosy sprang in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, even beside the incense altar.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

And he made engines in Jerusalem by the craft of artificers to be on the towers and corners, to shoot arrows and great stones with all. And his name spread far abroad, for he was wonderfully helped, until he was become mighty.

And Azariah the chief priest with all the other priests looked upon him: and behold he was a leper in his forehead, and they vexed him thence. And thereto he was fain to go out, because the LORD had plagued him.

And he did that pleased the LORD, in all points as did his father Amaziah.

And they stepped to Uzziah the king and said to him, "It pertaineth not to thee, Uzziah, to burn cense unto the LORD; but to the priests the children of Aaron that are consecrated for to burn incense. Come out of the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and it shall be no worship to thee before the LORD God."

And Uzziah had a host of fighting men that went out to war in the army and were told and numbered by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah an officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's lords.

And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.

And when Uzziah was laid to rest with his fathers, they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial of the kings. For they said, "He is a leper." And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

And Uzziah provided them, throughout all the host, shields, spears, helmets, habergeons, bows and slings for stones.

And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his name spread abroad even to Egypt: for he played the man and exceeded.

But Azariah the priest went in after him with four score priests of the LORD that were bold men.

And the whole number of the ancient heads of the men of might were two thousand and six hundred,

and under the hands of them was the army of the host, three hundred and seven thousand, and five hundred that made war with might and strength, to help the king against his enemies.
