26:15. And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he
placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows,
and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord
helped him, and had strengthened him.
26:16. But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his
destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the
temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of
incense.
26:17. And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with
him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
26:18. Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias,
to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of
Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary,
do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by
the Lord God.
26:19. And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn
incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in
his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar
of incense.
26:20. And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests
looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made
haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go
out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
26:21. And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he
dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been
cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the
king's house, and judged the people of the land.
26:22. But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by
Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
26:23. And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his
son reigned in his stead.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 27
Joatham's good reign.
27:1. Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and
he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa
the daughter of Sadoc.
27:2. And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all
that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple
of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.
27:3. He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall
of Ophel he built much.
27:4. Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and
towers in the forests.
27:5. He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame
them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents
of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of
barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and
third year.
27:6. And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed
before the Lord his God.
27:7. Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his
works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.
27:8. He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
27:9. And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 28
The wicked and unhappy reign of Achaz.
