1	Then all the people of Judah took# Uzziah, who was sixteen# years old, and made him king# in the room of his father Amaziah. [Uzziah: or, Azariah]
			2	He built# Eloth, and restored# it to Judah, after that the king slept# with his fathers.
			3	Sixteen# years old was Uzziah when he began to reign# , and he reigned# fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
			4	And he did# that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did# .
			5	And he sought# God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding# in the visions# of God: and as long as he sought# the LORD, God made him to prosper# . [in the visions...: Heb. in the seeing of God]
			6	And he went forth# and warred# against the Philistines, and brake down# the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built# cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. [about...: or, in the country of Ashdod]
			7	And God helped# him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt# in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
			8	And the Ammonites gave# gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad# even to the entering# in of Egypt; for he strengthened# himself exceedingly. [spread...: Heb. went]
			9	Moreover Uzziah built# towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall , and fortified# them. [fortified: or, repaired]
			10	Also he built# towers in the desert, and digged# many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also , and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved# husbandry. [digged...: or, cut out many cisterns] [Carmel: or, fruitful fields] [husbandry: Heb. ground]
			11	Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men# , that went out# to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe# and Maaseiah the ruler# , under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
			12	The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
			13	And under their hand was an army# , three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made# war with mighty power, to help# the king against the enemy# . [an army: Heb. the power of an army]
			14	And Uzziah prepared# for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. [slings...: Heb. stones of slings]
			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 withal. And his name spread# far abroad; for he was marvellously# helped# , till he was strong# . [spread: Heb. went forth]
			16	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.
			17	And Azariah the priest went in# after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
			18	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.
			19	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.
			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 thence; yea, himself hasted# also to go out# , because the LORD had smitten# him.
			21	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. [several: Heb. free]
			22	Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write# .
			23	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.
