2 Chronicles 26 · Grade 4

His Heart Was Lifted Up

Name Date

Read and Think

Uzziah became king at sixteen and reigned fifty-two years. He did right in Yahweh's eyes and set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who understood the visions of God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.

God helped him against the Philistines and Arabians. He built towers, dug many wells, and had farmers and vinedressers, for he loved the soil. He equipped a large army and built machines for the walls. His name spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he was strong.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, and he went into the temple to burn incense. Azariah and eighty brave priests stood against him. It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests. Uzziah grew angry, and leprosy broke out on his forehead before the altar. He lived in a separate house, and his son Jotham ruled for him.
