2 Chronicles 26:21

And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

And Uzziah {H5818} the king {H4428} was a leper {H6879} unto the day {H3117} of his death {H4194}, and dwelt in {H3427} a several {H2669}{H2669} house {H1004}, being a leper {H6879}; for he was cut off {H1504} from the house {H1004} of the LORD {H3068}: and Jotham {H3147} his son {H1121} was over the king's {H4428} house {H1004}, judging {H8199} the people {H5971} of the land {H776}.

'Uziyahu the king had tzara'at until his dying day; he lived in a separate house because he had tzara'at, and was not allowed into the house of ADONAI. Meanwhile, Yotam the king's son ran the king's household and was regent over the people of the land.

So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to govern the people of the land.

And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
