SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:18
Y se pusieron contra el rey Uzías, y le dijeron: No te corresponde a ti, oh Uzías, el quemar incienso al SEÑOR, sino a los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, que son consagrados para quemarlo; sal del santuario, por que te has rebelado, y no te será para gloria delante del SEÑOR Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And they withstood Uzziah the king , etc.] They not only stood against him, but stood about him, surrounded him, so as to hinder him from approaching the altar of incense: and said unto him, it appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord ; it did not belong to his office as a king, it was no part of it but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense ; and to them only; for even the Levites might not do it, only those of the tribe of Levi, that descended from Aaron, (see Numbers 16:35), go out of the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed ; by going into that: neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God ; but to his hurt, and be a brand of infamy upon him; for more is designed than is expressed, and as the event showed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-23 - The transgression of the kings before Uzziah was, forsaking the templ of the Lord, and burning incense upon idolatrous altars. But his transgression was, going into the holy place, and attempting to bur incense upon the altar of God. See how hard it is to avoid one extreme and not run into another. Pride of heart was at the bottom of his sin a lust that ruins many. Instead of lifting up the name God in gratitud to him who had done so much for him, his heart was lifted up to his hurt. Men's pretending to forbidden knowledge, and seeking things to high for them, are owing to pride of heart. The incense of our prayer must be, by faith, put into the hands of our Lord Jesus, the great Hig Priest of our profession, else we cannot expect it to be accepted by God, Re 8:3. Though Uzziah strove with the priests, he would not striv with his Maker. But he was punished for his transgression; he continue a leper to his death, shut out from society. The punishment answere the sin as face to face in a glass. Pride was at the bottom of his transgression, and thus God humbled him, and put dishonour upon him Those that covet forbidden honours, forfeit allowed ones. Adam, by catching at the tree of knowledge which he might not eat of, debarre himself of the tree of life which he might have eaten of. Let all tha read say, The Lord is righteous. And when the Lord sees good to thro prosperous and useful men aside, as broken vessels, if he raises u others to fill their places, they may rejoice to renounce all worldl concerns, and employ their remaining days in preparation for death __________________________________________________________________
