Folks! Listen, Jack. Here's the deal. King Uzziah, c'mon, man, he was a righteous king. He did good in the eyes of the Lord and in the eyes of the people. He was like, literally the best king ever and his fame went throughout the whole land. My father used to say, "you don't get much better than King Uzziah." Not gonna happen! He was so great that he built up the walls around Jerusalem and fortified the city. He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many wells. He even had a large army of valiant men. See here, Jack, it was like something out of a movie. Or, uh, you know, a storybook.
But then, what was that? Uzziah got it in his head that he was gonna offer incense to the Lord in the temple. Big no-no, man. Not gonna happen. The priests were all like, "uh, excuse me, King Uzziah, you can't do that." But he did it anyway. I tell you what, he got so mad that he tried to force the priests out. But then, the Lord struck him with leprosy, and he was out of there like a bat out of you know where. No malarkey!
