Mais lorsqu'il fut puissant, son coeur s'éleva pour le perdre. Il pécha contre l'Eternel, son Dieu: il entra dans le temple de l'Eternel pour brûler des parfums sur l'autel des parfums.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Mais lorsqu'il fut puissant, son cœur s'éleva jusqu'à se corrompre; et il commit un péché contre l'Éternel, son Dieu: il entra dans le temple de l'Éternel pour brûler le parfum sur l'autel des parfums.
Darby's French Translation

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, “to do wickedly.” Uzziah appears to have deliberately determined to invade the priest’s office (marginal reference “m”), 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.
