2 Chronicles 26: After Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. Further, although it was not right for Uzziah to burn incense to the Lord, nevertheless, he did. Consequently, he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[d]—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. We can see continuously how kings violated their relationship to God by keep on sinning once they rose to fame.
2 Chronicles 27: Jotham, the son of Uzziah, did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but unlike his father he did not enter the temple of the Lord. Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God. This is how the Lord worked and interfered in the lives of people and he deemed them just and righteous if they followed His path and laws.

2 Chronicles 28: What a provocative wicked act by King Ahaz. How could he shut the doors of the Lord’s temple and set up altars at every street corner in Jerusalem to burn sacrifices to other gods, which in turn aroused the anger of the Lord? He truly went from bad to worse....
2 Chronicles 29: Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, service of the temple of the Lord was reestablished. The priests slaughtered the goats and presented their blood on the altar for a sin offering to atone for all Israel. This reminds us how appreciative we should be toward Christ's atoning sacrifice for all mankind.
2 Chronicles 30: The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place. I assume it was because of the priests and the Levites why the Lord's grace and mercy still protected the people.
