2 Chronicles 26:21-23
New English Translation

21 King Uzziah suffered from a skin disease until the day he died. He lived in separate quarters,[a] afflicted by a skin disease and banned from the Lord’s temple. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and ruled over the people of the land.

22 The rest of the events of Uzziah’s reign, from start to finish, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.[b] 23 Uzziah passed away[c] and was buried near his ancestors[d] in a cemetery[e] belonging to the kings. (This was because he had a skin disease.)[f] His son Jotham replaced him as king.
