King Uzziah of Judah, also known as Azariah, is the biblical king noted for having leprosy. According to the Hebrew Bible, specifically in 2 Kings 15:5 and 2 Chronicles 26:19-21, he was struck with leprosy as a punishment for attempting to burn incense in the temple, a duty reserved for priests. His condition ultimately led him to rule from a separate house while his son Jotham governed the kingdom.
