THE MESSAGE
But then the strength and success went to his head. Arrogant and proud, he fell. One day, contemptuous of God , he walked into The Temple of God like he owned it and took over, burning incense on the Incense Altar. The priest Azariah, backed up by eighty brave priests of God , tried to prevent him. They confronted Uzziah: "You must not, you cannot do this, Uzziah—only the Aaronite priests, especially consecrated for the work, are permitted to burn incense. Get out of God's Temple; you are unfaithful and a disgrace!"

Contextual Overview
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men: 18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, [It appertaineth] not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither [will it be] for thy honor from the LORD God. 19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. 20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. 21 And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land. 22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos. 23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When he was strong,.... Became great and powerful, through his victories, the enlargement of his dominions, and having a numerous army, and these well accoutred, and many fortified cities and towers:
his heart was lifted up to his destruction; he grew vain and proud, elated with his flourishing circumstances, which issued in his ruin:
for he transgressed against the Lord his God; who had helped him, and made him so great, and had bestowed so many favours upon him; the Targum is,
"the Word of the Lord his God;''
what his transgression was, follows:
and went into the temple of the Lord; the holy place, into which none but the priests might enter:
to burn incense upon the altar of incense; which stood there.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To his destruction - Rather, âto do wickedly.â Uzziah appears to have deliberately determined to invade the priestâs office (marginal reference âmâ), thus repeating the sin of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram Numbers 16:1-35.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 26:16. He transgressed against the Lord — "He sinned against the WORD of the Lord his God." - T.
Went into the temple to burn incense — Thus assuming to himself the priest's office. See this whole transaction explained in the notes on 2 Kings 15:5.
