Uzziah (/əˈzaɪə/; Hebrew: עֻזִּיָּהוּ, meaning Jehovah is my strength;Greek: Οζίας; Latin: Ozias), also known as Azariah (/ˈæzəˈraɪə/; Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה Greek: Αζαρις; Latin: Azarias), was a king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, and one of Amaziah's sons. (2 Chronicles 26:1) (According to James F. Driscoll, the second form of his name most likely is the result of a copyist's error.) Uzziah was 16 when he became king of Judah and reigned for 52 years. The first 24 years of his reign were as co-regent with his father, Amaziah.
William F. Albright has dated Uzziah's reign to 783 – 742 BC. Edwin R. Thiele's chronology has Uzziah becoming coregent with his father Amaziah in 792/791 BC, and sole ruler of Judah after his father's death in 768/767 BC. Uzziah was struck with leprosy for disobeying Jehovah (God) (2 Kings 15:5, 2 Chronicles 26:19-21). Thiele dates Uzziah's being struck with leprosy to 751/750 BC, at which time his son Jotham took over the government, with Uzziah living on until 740/739 BC.Pekah became king of Israel in the last year of Uzziah's reign. The Catholic Encyclopedia dates his reign from 809-759 BC.
Ozias most commonly refers to Uzziah, the king of the ancient Kingdom of Judah.

I'm tired of my life but my heads alright
I got the fever off a man I know
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight
And I know, I know, I know
Swear I heard a song on the radio
My heart is laughing back at me
I can see it comin' but I just don't know
If it's gon' , it's gon, it's gonna let me be
As I saw, on the breeze
I can see the sons of those who came before me
And it's got me on my knees
What you say, anyway
Will not last, it'll pass, it'll flash right there before me
And it's got me on my knees
Cos I got the fever
Yeah I got the fever
