Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 26:20

20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence , yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

Not by force, as was noted on v. 18. which needed not, for he voluntarily hasted away, as it follows, but by vehement perswasions and denunciations of Gods further Judgments upon him if he did not depart. Some suppose that the Earthquake mentioned Amos 1. 1. Zech. 14. 5. happened upon this occasion, as another token of Gods displeasure against this unparallel'd arrogancy.
