New Testament

2 Chronicles 26:13-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. And under their hand were army troops numbering three hundred and seven thousand five hundred who could make war with power and strength to help the king against an enemy.

14. And Uzziah prepared small shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.

15. And he made siege machines in Jerusalem designed by skillful men to be set upon the towers and upon the corners to shoot arrows and large slingstones. And his fame went out far, for he helped marvelously, for he was strong.

16. But on account of his strength his heart grew proud unto destruction. And he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God and went into the temple of Yahweh to offer an incense offering on the altar.

17. And Azariah the priest, along with eighty strong priests with him, went in after him.

18. And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but it is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully. There will be no honor for you from Yahweh God.”
