0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:07.0	If you didn't have a chance to look this up, it might have been a bit confusing to you.
0:16.6	But today we have another nickname type situation happening with King Azariah of Judah.
0:21.8	He also goes by the name Yousiah. When we read about him in Second
0:26.1	Kings, he's Azariah, but when we read about him in Second Chronicles, he's
0:29.6	Uziah. He's just taken over after his father's death and we don't hear much about him
0:34.2	except that he's a pretty good king high places notwithstanding because they're
0:38.1	still standing but then things take a turn. After his people maybe invent the catapult and a series of
0:44.9	military victories make him rich and famous, Azariah grows prideful. He decides
0:49.9	he wants to burn incense in the temple in Jerusalem, which is a big no-no unless you're a priest.
0:57.1	When the text describes this by saying, he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, it uses the same word that is often used for marital unfaithfulness.
1:05.6	The actual priests are aghast, and 81 of them, including one who shares the name Azariah,
1:11.7	rush into rebuke him, but he's unrepentant. And when he grows
1:15.6	angry with the priests, God strikes him with leprosy. What's interesting to me about this text
1:21.5	is that it seems to indicate he never actually lights the sensor to burn the incense.
1:26.0	They stop him before he can.
1:28.0	And if that's true, then even though he doesn't physically commit the sin here, his heart is still set on it.
1:35.0	So when God strikes him with leprosy, it really seems like the motives of his heart are what's
1:39.2	being judged here.
1:41.2	He has to leave the temple immediately to prevent defiling it, and after this he lives in a separate house because of the cleanliness laws we read about in Leviticus 13. He likely either stopped performing the roles of King when he became ill or co-reigned with his son Jothem until Jothem officially took over for him.
1:58.0	Jothem was considered to be a good King, mostly walking in God's ways, but you guessed it, those high places in
2:04.7	Judah are still as untouched as ever.
