Uzziah (King living at the time of Divided Monarchy)

Uzziah, also called Azariah, became king of Judah at sixteen and reigned fifty-two years, a long and mostly prosperous rule that rebuilt Judah's military and economy, until success made him proud enough to enter the temple and burn incense himself, a priestly duty no king was allowed to perform. Priests confronted him in the act, and leprosy broke out on his forehead immediately, forcing him to live in isolation for the rest of his life while his son ruled in his place. The prophet Isaiah dates the beginning of his own famous temple vision to the year King Uzziah died.
