Now he had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and when he became angry with the priests, (A)leprosy[a] broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests in the house of the Lord, by the altar of incense. 20 And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead!

And Jotham his son was over the king's household, governing the people of the land.
