II - Chapter 26

1Then all the people of Yehuda took Uzziyahu, who was sixteen years old, and proclaimed him king to succeed his father Amatzya.

2It was he who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Yehuda after King [Amatzya] slept with his fathers.

3Uzziyahu was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Yerushalayim; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Yerushalayim.

4He did what was pleasing to Hashem just as his father Amatzya had done.

5He applied himself to the worship of Hashem during the time of Zecharya, instructor in the visions of Hashem; during the time he worshiped Hashem, Hashem made him prosper.

6He went forth to fight the Philistines, and breached the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; he built towns in [the region of] Ashdod and among the Philistines.

7Hashem helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs who lived in Gur-baal, and the Meunites.

8The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziyahu, and his fame spread to the approaches of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.

9Uzziyahu built towers in Yerushalayim on the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate and on the Angle, and fortified them.

10He built towers in the wilderness and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle, and farmers in the foothills and on the plain, and vine dressers in the mountains and on the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.

11Uzziyahu had an army of warriors, a battle-ready force who were mustered by Jeiel the scribe and Maasseiah the adjutant under Chananya, one of the king's officers.

13under them was the trained army of 307,500, who made war with might and power to aid the king against the enemy.

14Uzziyahu provided them—the whole army—with shields and spears, and helmets and mail, and bows and slingstones.

15He made clever devices in Yerushalayim, set on the towers and the corners, for shooting arrows and large stones. His fame spread far, for he was helped wonderfully, and he became strong.

16When he was strong, he grew so arrogant he acted corruptly: he trespassed against his God by entering the Temple of Hashem to offer incense on the incense mizbayach.

17The kohen Azarya, with eighty other brave Kohanim of Hashem, followed him in

18and, confronting King Uzziyahu, said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziyahu, to offer incense to Hashem, but for the Aaronite Kohanim, who have been consecrated, to offer incense. Get out of the Sanctuary, for you have trespassed; there will be no glory in it for you from Hashem.”

19Uzziyahu, holding the censer and ready to burn incense, got angry; but as he got angry with the Kohanim, leprosy broke out on his forehead in front of the Kohanim in the House of Hashem beside the incense mizbayach.

20When the chief kohen Azarya and all the other Kohanim looked at him, his forehead was leprous, so they rushed him out of there; he too made haste to get out, for Hashem had struck him with a plague.

21King Uzziyahu was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolated quarters as a leper, for he was cut off from the House of Hashem—while Yotam his son was in charge of the king's house and governed the people of the land.

22The other events of Uzziyahu's reign, early and late, were recorded by the Navi Yeshayahu son of Amotz.
