16 But when Uzziah became powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God {YHWH Elohaw}, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Then Azariah (YHWH has helped) the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD {YHWH}, went in after him. 18 They took their stand against King Uzziah (my strength is YHWH) and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD {YHWH}. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron (light bringer), are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God {YHWH Elohim}.” 2 Chronicles 26:16-18, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
