6And he went out and warred against the Philistines, and broke through the walls of Gath, of Jabneh, and of Ashdod, then built cities about Ashdod, and (elsewhere) among the Philistines. 7And God helped him against the Philistines, and the Arabians who dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunites. 8And the Ammonites paid tribute money to Uzziah; and his name spread abroad as far as to the entrance of Egypt; as he became very strong militarily. 9Uzziah also built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. 10He also built towers in the desert, and dug many wells; for he had much cattle, both in the low lands, and in the plains; and farmers, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he loved agriculture. 11Uzziah also had an army of fighting men, who went out to war by divisions, according to the number of their muster by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, an official under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders. 12The total number of the heads of the father's houses of the valiant men was two thousand, six hundred. 13And under their command was an army of three hundred seven thousand, five hundred, that waged war with mighty power against the enemy. 14And Uzziah prepared shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and slings to throw stones for them throughout all the army. 15And in Jerusalem he made engines, invented by skillful men, to shoot arrows and great stones from the towers and the bulwarks. And his name spread far abroad; for he was miraculously aided, to make him strong.

16But as he grew strong, he became proud of his accomplishments, to his own 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. 17Then Azariah, the priest, went in after him with eighty priests of the LORD, men of courage: 18And they opposed Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from the LORD God.” 19Then Uzziah was angry, with a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he raged at with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the temple of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. 20And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priests, looked at him, and he was leprous on his forehead, and they thrust him out of there; and, he, himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had smitten him. 21And King Uzziah remained a leper unto the day of his death, and, being a leper, dwelt in a separate house; for he was excluded from the temple of the LORD. And his son, Jotham, ran the king's house, judging and governing the people of the land.

22Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, Isaiah, the prophet, the son of Amoz, has written. 23So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the burial field of the kings; for they said, “He is a leper”; and Jotham, his son, reigned in his stead.
