14 Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by askillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.
The Penalty for Uzziah’s Pride
16 But awhen he was strong his heart was blifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God cby entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 So aAzariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord—valiant men.
18 And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It ais not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the bpriests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the Lord God.”
