2 Chronicles 26:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death and lived in isolation, cut off from his people and from the Temple. His son Jotham became vice-regent, in charge of the king’s affairs and of the judging of the people of the land.

²² The other details of Uzziah’s reign from first to last are recorded by the prophet Isaiah (son of Amoz). ²³ When Uzziah died, he was buried in the royal cemetery even though he was a leper, and his son Jotham became the new king.
