(help of the Lord) (2 Kings 14:21) — tenth king of Judah, son and successor of Amaziah. In 2 Chronicles (26:1, 3–5) he is called Uzziah. In many respects he was, on the whole, a king of a godly life; but when he had grown strong, his heart was lifted up, and he transgressed against the Lord his God. He went into the Temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense, though he was not a priest. The priests opposed him. Uzziah grew angry, and while the censer was in his hand for burning incense, behold, leprosy broke out on his forehead, and he remained a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, and was cut off from the house of the Lord (2 Chron. 26).
