2 Chronicles 26

Uzziah becomes king of Judah at age sixteen and prospers greatly through military victories, building projects, and seeking YHWH, earning fame and strength.[1][3] However, his pride leads him to unlawfully enter the temple and burn incense, an act reserved for priests; YHWH strikes him with leprosy as punishment, and he remains afflicted until his death.[1][3]
