But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.

17 And he went after him Azariah the priest and [were] with him priests - of Yahweh eighty sons of strength.

Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.

18 And they took their stand on Uzziah the king and they said to him not [belongs] to you O Uzziah to make smoke to Yahweh for to the priests [the] descendants of Aaron who are consecrated to make smoke go out from the sanctuary for you have acted unfaithfully and not of you for honor from Yahweh God.
