Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Uzziah
   a contracted form of Azari'ah the Lord is my strength. (1.) One
   of Amaziah's sons, whom the people made king of Judah in his
   father's stead (2 Kings 14:21; 2 Chr. 26:1). His long reign of
   about fifty-two years was "the most prosperous excepting that of
   Jehosaphat since the time of Solomon." He was a vigorous and
   able ruler, and "his name spread abroad, even to the entering in
   of Egypt" (2 Chr. 26:8, 14). In the earlier part of his reign,
   under the influence of Zechariah, he was faithful to Jehovah,
   and "did that which was right in the sight of the Lord" (2 Kings
   15:3; 2 Chr. 26:4, 5); but toward the close of his long life
   "his heart was lifted up to his destruction," and he wantonly
   invaded the priest's office (2 Chr. 26:16), and entering the
   sanctuary proceeded to offer incense on the golden altar.
   Azariah the high priest saw the tendency of such a daring act on
   the part of the king, and with a band of eighty priests he
   withstood him (2 Chr. 26:17), saying, "It appertaineth not unto
   thee, Uzziah, to burn incense." Uzziah was suddenly struck with
   leprosy while in the act of offering incense (26:19-21), and he
   was driven from the temple and compelled to reside in "a several
   house" to the day of his death (2 Kings 15:5, 27; 2 Chr. 26:3).
   He was buried in a separate grave "in the field of the burial
   which belonged to the kings" (2 Kings 15:7; 2 Chr. 26:23). "That
   lonely grave in the royal necropolis would eloquently testify to
   coming generations that all earthly monarchy must bow before the
   inviolable order of the divine will, and that no interference
   could be tolerated with that unfolding of the purposes of God,
   which, in the fulness of time, would reveal the Christ, the true
   High Priest and King for evermore" (Dr. Green's Kingdom of
   Israel, etc.).

     (2.) The father of Jehonathan, one of David's overseers (1
   Chr. 27:25).
