2 Chronicles 26:17-19
Common English Bible
17 The priest Azariah, accompanied by eighty other of the Lord’s courageous priests, went in after him 18 and confronted King Uzziah.

19 Then Uzziah, who already had a censer in his hand ready to burn the incense, became angry. While he was fuming at the priests, skin disease[a] erupted on his forehead in the presence of the priests before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple.
