Daily Devotional - II Chronicles 26:1-23 - Uzzriah Reigns In Judah & Penalty For Uzziah Pride

II Chronicles 26 chronicles the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, who ascended the throne at the young age of 16 and ruled for 52 years. Uzziah is depicted as a king who initially sought the guidance of God, leading to his prosperity and success. His achievements include fortifying Jerusalem, building towers, and developing a strong military presence. Uzziah's reign is marked by significant agricultural advancements and technological innovations in warfare.

However, the narrative also highlights Uzziah's downfall due to pride. His successful reign leads him to overstep his bounds, culminating in an act of sacrilege when he enters the Temple to burn incense, a duty reserved for priests. As a result, God strikes him with leprosy, and he spends the remainder of his life in isolation while his son Jotham governs in his stead. The chapter ends with Uzziah's death and burial, emphasizing the consequences of pride and disobedience to God's commandments.
