2 Chronicles 26:19-21
Evangelical Heritage Version
19 Uzziah became angry. He had a censer for burning incense in his hand. When he became angry with the priests, leprosy[a] broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests, beside the altar of incense in the House of the Lord. 20 When Azariah, the head priest, and all the other priests looked at him, they immediately realized he had leprosy on his forehead. They rushed him out of there. He himself also was in a hurry to leave because the Lord had struck him.
21 King Uzziah remained a leper until the day of his death. He lived in a quarantined house because he was a leper. He was excluded from the House of the Lord. Jotham his son was in charge of the palace of the king and administered justice for the people of the land.
