Read word by wordThen Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
Read word by wordThey took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
