Uzziah was also known as Azariah (SEE 2 KINGS 1 4 : 2 1 ). When Uzziah was just sixteen the people of Judah made him king instead of his father Amaziah. The Bible says that Uzziah did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and that he pursued God in the days of Zechariah. He had a long reign of fifty-two years from around 783-742 BC. Uzziah was known for being brilliant and creative, he built up the country and we’re told he even invented new military technology to strengthen his cities with. We’re also told that as his successes grew so did his pride. Near the end of his kingdom Uzziah went into the Temple of God to burn incense on the altar of
incense—something only the priests were consecrated to do. The priests even tried to stop him, warning him that he was overstepping his authority, but only God’s correction stopped him, and would change his life forever. King Uzziah instantly became leprous. His life and its unfortunate end are recorded in 2 Chronicles 26.
