Uzija, kralj Jude
(2 Kr 15,1-7)
26 Tada je cijeli judejski narod uzeo za kralja šesnaestogodišnjeg Uziju umjesto njegovog oca Amasije. 2 Nakon kraljeve smrti, Uzija je obnovio Elat[a] i vratio ga pod vlast Jude.
3 Uzija je imao šesnaest godina kad je postao kralj. U Jeruzalemu je vladao pedeset i dvije godine. Majka mu se zvala Jekolija i bila je iz Jeruzalema. 4 Postupao je ispravno pred BOGOM, kao i njegov otac Amasija. 5 Tražio je BOGA sve dok je Zaharija bio živ. On ga je učio da štuje i traži BOGA. Sve dok je Uzija tražio BOGA, on mu je omogućavao napredak.
6 Zaratio je protiv Filistejaca. Porušio je gradske zidine Gata, Jabne i Ašdoda. Potom je obnovio gradove blizu Ašdoda i drugdje među Filistejcima. 7 Bog mu je pomagao protiv Filistejaca, protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u gradu Gur Baal, te protiv Meunjana. 8 Amonci su plaćali danak Uziji. Postao je poznat sve do granica Egipta jer je bio vrlo moćan. 9 Uzija je izgradio i utvrdio kule u Jeruzalemu na Ugaonim vratima, Dolinskim vratima i na mjestu gdje zavija zid. 10 Izgradio je kule u pustinji te iskopao mnogo bunara. Držao je velika stada stoke na brežuljcima i u dolinama. Imao je mnogo ljudi koji su obrađivali polja i vinograde u brdima i plodnim dolinama. Volio je zemljoradnju.
11 Uzija je imao dobro uvježbanu vojsku, spremnu za rat. Tajnik Jeiel i službenik Maaseja izvršili su popis i podijelili vojsku u skupine. Zapovjednik je bio Hananija, jedan od kraljevih službenika. 12 Bilo je ukupno 2.600 poglavara obitelji koji su zapovijedali postrojbama hrabrih ratnika. 13 Pod njihovim je zapovjedništvom bila vojska od 307.500 muškaraca vičnih ratovanju. Bila je to jaka podrška kralju protiv neprijatelja. 14 Uzija je cijelu vojsku opremio štitovima, kopljima, kacigama, oklopima, lukovima i kamenjem za praćke. 15 U Jeruzalemu je dao napraviti borbene sprave koje su osmislili sposobni izumitelji. Dao ih je postaviti na kule i uglove bedema. Mogle su izbacivati strijele i veliko kamenje. Glas o Uzijinoj slavi širio se nadaleko. Imao je podršku i postao je moćan kralj.
16 No kad je učvrstio svoju vlast, uzoholio se, što je dovelo do njegove propasti. Bio je nevjeran svom BOGU. Ulazio je u BOŽJI Hram paliti tamjan na kadionom žrtveniku.
17 No za njim je ušao svećenik Azarija s osamdesetoricom hrabrih BOŽJIH svećenika. 18 Zaustavili su kralja Uziju i rekli mu: »Uzijo, nije ispravno da ti pališ tamjan BOGU. To je zadaća svećenika, Aronovih potomaka, koji su za tu službu posvećeni. Izađi iz svetišta jer postupaš krivo. To ti nije na čast pred BOGOM«.
19 Uzija je u ruci držao posudu za prinos tamjana. Razljutio se i bjesnio na svećenike. Odjednom mu je na čelu izbila opasna kožna bolest. Dogodilo se to u prisutnosti svećenika, u BOŽJEM Hramu, ispred kadionog žrtvenika. 20 Vrhovni svećenik Azarija i svi ostali svećenici gledali su u kralja. Na čelu mu je bila kožna bolest! Brzo su ga istjerali. I on sam požurio je van jer ga je BOG kaznio.
21 Kralj Uzija bolovao je od teške kožne bolesti sve do smrti. Živio je u odvojenoj kući i bilo mu je zabranjeno ulaziti u BOŽJI Hram. Njegov je sin Jotam upravljao kraljevskim dvorom i narodom u zemlji.
22 Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvog do posljednjega, zabilježio je prorok Izaija, Amosov sin. 23 Uzija je umro. Sahranili su ga blizu grobnice njegovih predaka, ali ne s njima, na groblju koje je pripadalo kraljevima. Bilo je to zbog toga što je imao kožnu bolest.
Njegov je sin Jotam postao sljedeći kralj.

Uzziah King of Judah(A)(B)
26 Then all the people of Judah(C) took Uzziah,[a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[b] of God.(D) As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.(E)
6 He went to war against the Philistines(F) and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod.(G) He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs(H) who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites.(I) 8 The Ammonites(J) brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,(K) at the Valley Gate(L) and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.(M) 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(N) led to his downfall.(O) He was unfaithful(P) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(Q) on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah(R) the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests,(S) the descendants(T) of Aaron,(U) who have been consecrated to burn incense.(V) Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”
19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy[c](W) broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[d](X)—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah(Y) son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah(Z) rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.(AA)

2 Chronicles 26
King James Version
26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
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.
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.
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.
